Labor Day Weekend

So, I've effectively recovered from the appropriately named Hotter than Hell 103. I spun Monday to keep the legs moving and did 25 miles of hill work on Thursday. My totals miles for August only tallied up to 417 still up from my 314 effort of July. I have planned a 35 mile club ride tomorrow with a group from the local bike shop in Dallas. Monday the vampires come out (once they smell blood they start showing their teeth) in the form of the Mirage 100k. Should result in about a 100 mile weekend. Keep in mind I have a race Tuesday and a 56 mile race on Saturday. I'm ready to finish my race schedule through October and am not yet loving the idea of starting to train for my marathon in December. Pretty much holding a steady pattern till I head back to Montana (yes, you're seeing a pattern here) and load up the mountain bike, motorcycle and some fly rods to escape into my paradise for a week or so. Unfortunately that's going to have to take a back seat to London again. I should be thankful that I get to travel and be involved in these awesome deals but it's a means to the end. Maybe it's the heat talking but I'm ready to retire to Montana and just be connected to the world via satelite. Enough of my rambling, I'll post more later.
