challenging combo

Today with the 20 mph sustained winds gusting to close to 40 mph right exactly dead on as a head wind, coupled with the trailer made for a ride that wasn't exactly what I normally plan for a day before the race. 10 mph, 159 HR, on flat level ground (not the whole thing but there were a good handful of miles like that). Got a few recovery sections with the downhill sheltered from the wind but that was about it.

Stopped to grab a few shots of the blue blue blue water... and tired a self timer shot.  First attempt the camera blew off the fence post.  Second and third I stuck it down on the grass looking up against the fence post. Crappy results.  Ah well.

Pretty amazing day out there. Really.

Beethoven's Birthday is today.  So I'm making an attempt to listen to his works.  But my pretty solid Beethoven CD collection is still on CDs, and at home.  Pandora is sort of working, Spotify helped with the Emperor, King.org wasn't as much help as I had hoped.  They are playing Kodaly's Symphony in C right now.  not quite Beethoven.

A change from the regular audio emanations in the office.

Sleep still has been elusive lately. Probably not the greatest sign for Saturday, but hey, maybe tonight will be different.

here are the shots from this morning...





The depth of the blue is almost captured here...  close enough.
