Weekend 16-18AUG2019

First weekend in a bit where I did not have a race!

Friday AM - four and change with Greg along the ditch.  Fairly up beat in pace but easy.
Friday PM - practice - six and change and then measured out the TT course for the XC team for the fun on Saturday morning over at the Commons.

Saturday - we have a time trial early in the season to get a read as to where the kids are at.  We generally know, and while the TT doesn't tell us everything, it can provide a bit of insight - sometimes confirming somethings, other times revealing new things.  Sometimes.

Afternoon - a lack of sleep caught up with me.  I groggily grunted through 8.7 miles, and actually moved fairly well but I could feel the fire burning a bit.




Sunday - 4 miles and change before heading to the airport.  Flew off to San Diego to head south of the border for some work.

I love the flight out of DEN to SAN because I usually get to get on eyes on some cool views.  Today was Mount Evans, the Dillon Reservoir, Breckenridge and the Grand Canyon.







Well, one week until the big dance in Manitou and the hill above it.  I'll have sort of a forced non altitude taper this week in Mexico, but I don't see that as all bad.  Gonna just try to focus on solid habits this week to best not unravel anything on Sunday.
