Well, after last week's bitch and moan session, I then went on to have one of my favorite days in recent memory. I headed out to Maryland's Western Shore for a supported Century (100 miles) bike ride. This is about an hour away from DC but is basically a totally different planet -- completely rural, totally beautiful. And hilly. Lord, was it hilly.
Anyway, about 8 or so DC Tri club people all converged at 8am to tackle the 100, with a few people going the 60 or 80 mile routes. Amazing to me how having company for these long rides make the hours just melt away. It was a gorgeous fall day, the scenery was beautiful, the company great. I felt in a great mood the entire day, despite the fact that it was 6 hours of relentless cycling. This ride was a huge confidence booster for the upcoming Ironman, in addition to be a really pleasant way to socialize with my friends. It was a perfect day.

Aww, thanks Kita! It's been overwhelming but mostly fun. I'm sure I'll sleep for about two months when it's done ... :)
