Rode a 10k time trial and 20k road race in the senior olympics yesterday. I placed second in my age group in the TT and first in the road race. It was the first road race I've ever done and it was a lot of fun. Each one takes a different strategy. It was brutally hot and there was a 15 mph wind to contend with but that same wind was to our backs on the sprint in. What a bonus!
The 5k TT and 40k road race are scheduled for today but there are thunderstorms moving through. I don't know if we will race or not. At least the storms cooled things off a bit.

It was too nice not to ride yesterday. Spent the morning cleaning out the basement and having a yard sale. We tried an "Honor system" approach, put out a sign for people to pay whatever they thought an object was worth, and a large can to drop the money into. It was very interesting to watch. We were putting things out there throughout the morning so could get a sense of what was happening. Some people paid more than I would have expected and a few others just took things without paying anything. We were not looking to make a lot of money, so it was actually fun to watch what would happen.
Anyway, I digress I did manage to go for a 14 mile windy ride in the afternoon. I started out tired form hauling boxes all morning but felt great riding. HOpe to get at least a 30 miler in today as it is supposed to be sunny and 70.
