Recovery

Made it back into town after a very relaxing trip home with the Booth's. We stopped at Dana's aunt's B and B outside of Boise for the first night. An excellent dinner with very gracious hosts and a beautiful setting. Next night was in Reno at a long time friend of the Booth's.

Friday I slept in - at least sleeping in for me. I was up around 7 and ready for a latte. Didn't do much more than unpack stuff and do some laundry.

Saturday - up early and went to provide a water stop for a few team mates who were tackling Mt. Hamilton. The schedule calls for a 100 miler in small groups. A good mental toughness day to experience being alone on the bike for a long period. These folks decided to take on Mt Hamilton, Calaveras Rd and Sierra Rd. Talk about mental toughness! It was great to see their smiling faces as they rounded the top to the observatory. Their sense of accomplishment was evident on their faces.

Sunday - met with a few folks for a swim at Fremont HS then a run at Rancho. Swam about 3,000 yards and felt pretty good. No dizziness at all in the water and had nice long, gliding strokes. Wish I had that last Sunday in Idaho. Rancho was warm as we did up and over with a twist. Ann, Christy and Karen were running it twice. I only did it once. Usually my quads are very sore even a week after an IM - this time they weren't sore at all. Maybe because I really didn't do much running last Sunday at all. I did experience a bit of light headedness coming down the creek. I think this was due to lack of food more than anything else. I quickly took in a GU and felt much better.

Monday - now I'm waitng for the cable guy to show up and finish his installation. He was here a few weeks ago and moved the existing cable box to the side of the house where we moved the electrical panel. Most of the remodel is done with a few touch up areas left. Can't wait to move stuff back into the house from the garage - hopefully we won't move everything back and can get rid of some of this stuff. The house was very cluttered before the remodel started. Then maybe a short ride this afternooon after some poolside reading and sunning.

Tomorrow I hope to spend some more time by the pool and maybe get another Rancho run done.
