Training: I had a big week coming off of recovery week and trying to get it all in before travelling next week. Lisa assures me all is okay, but every once in a while I get panicky that I am not doing enough to prepare.

Team Alex: Alex came home from the hospital after platelet transfusion. The doctor is going to try a new procedure that targets the malicious cancer cells without attacking the rest of his body. Alex Strong! Fundraiser is up to $684 dollars but did not move much since the first week. I really need to get creative and find some ways to get it moving.

Windiest ride ever. Almost doing a track stand uphill and fearing for my life on the downhill. 1 hour climb fro 10 miles against wind, 15 minutes on the return then a 4 mile loop.

File for IMAZ 2012. When the winds kick up, I can tell myself I have ridden in 3-040moh sustained winds.

Sunday: 100 minute trail run at Rampart Range Reservoir. It was beautiful but slow.
