For some reason my swim yesterday gave me enough peace to dare to take a day off. I suspect I will not regret it. It would usually have been long ride day, but I had promised Colby I would barbecue for his pool party today, and although it may surprise some of you (I know it did me), I know where my priorities lie. I think they had fun!
That does not however let me off the hook for the bike ride. It just means it needs to happen tomorrow instead. That looks like it's gonna work out just as well anyway, since it is supposed to be at least a little bit cooler.
So between pool prep and barbecuing I decided to clean my bike. My old one! It had been left in the garage in a very forlorn state since it's last ride in the rain, and I was feeling very guilty about it. So it's all polished up and in the basement, just waiting for winter. I will use it to ride on the trainer during the off season, and it may also come out for rain days. After all, it has experience.
But then I decided it was time to clean the chain and sprockets on my Argon 18, and to get it ready for tomorrow. I also spent some time working on a solution for carrying it in the RV without taking it apart. I think I got an idea. It can hang right over our bed....it's been Roo approved!
And that's it. Wish me well for tomorrow. I'm only gonna go when I'm good and ready...maybe try to sleep in. Ironman distance (180) followed by a run. Woohoo!!
