Tight Hammy

Sunday March 1st
1 hour run with 4 - 5 min temp / 2min recovery

Saturday Feb. 28th
5hours and 10 minutes - 70 mile bike ride. Kicked my butt. I bonked and the northeast wind killed me. 5 miles from the house I had to pull over and stand there for a minute. Kind of a stressful ride. Parts of the ride gave way to unexpected icy roads and one time I thought I was going to crash on Noon Road going down a steep hill. Other times we had to get off and walk through the ice because we could not ride through it. I don't think I ate enough during the ride which contributed to my snails pace on Marine drive. At one point I had a vision of me throwing my bike into the river and sitting down in the middle of the road and crying on Red River Road with a 20 mph direct head wind. But on a postive note I finally got to see a Bald Eagle at Dayton Harbor (wish I had my camera) and the house there are super beautiful and to die for.

Saturday
4.5 hour bike ride to Skagit and back. I really like this ride. Headed down Chuckanut and into Edison. During the ride we came across a group of other riders. I witnessed a heavier set gentlemen grind a gear so hard that his rear derailler broke off. Literally, the only thing that prevented it from hitting the pavement was the chain it was still connected to.
Other than that I felt good after this ride.

I have never seen you that frustrated! I'll bet it was worth it to see the eagle!
