I went out yesterday morning and had a great hour long run. I did the modified Scenic loop with plenty of hills. After that I went to work and really got my butt kicked. It was so busy that nobody knew what side was up. Claire and I were trying to get stuff organized before we took off for Vegas, but we didn’t have the time we needed.
We went over to Bill and Debbie’s house for some Furnace Creek 508 planning. We ended up just enjoying margaritas on the patio instead. Debbie will be doing the ride in a couple of weeks, and Claire, Bill, and I will be crewing for her.
Today I went out for another run this evening. Claire talked me into running up Canyon, which must be about 20% or so. My heart rate hit 199 part way up. I felt great otherwise.
We are taking off for Vegas tomorrow and really looking forward to it. I am very excited about checking out the 2009 bicycle world.
