hot times
busted out of work a little early friday and extended my ride home. i felt really tired after the long week and between the heat, activities and riding i came out of the weekend feeling just as beat down.
saturday morning we headed down to bradbury's for breakfast and then walked around the farmers' market/state street. it was heating up pretty good towards the end. headed home for lunch and then during nap time i got out for 2:15 of road riding. windy and hot left me feeling pretty tired. robin went to pick up her race materials and cal woke up challenging from his nap which kind of initiated a crabbiness spiral which i still feel like i'm in. sometimes my brain just needs quiet time which really doesn't exist anymore. i never truly appreciated it before we had our son!
sunday morning came fast when i woke up at a little before six robin had been gone a good 40 minutes. calvin continued to be a challenge which made getting out the door tough - especially when he decided to have a poop right at the time i wanted to leave. we made it in time to see robin a little before she started swimming which was nice (i had to run most of the way from our distant parking spot to do so). we saw robin exit the water and were also able to see here exit the transition area on the bike. much to my disappointment, we missed robin finish the bike - i most likely was tending to cal when she rode past. after a bit, we walked through the transition to make sure here bike was there and then went to the finish area to see her a couple of times in the run. she has been sick most of the week and still had a great race.
we had some lunch and then headed home. i got cal down for his nap and was feeling pretty lethargic myself. after sitting for a bike, i got myself out the door for 1:15 of riding to, at and from quarry ridge. i like that place for these types of days. while i was riding it didn't seem that hot but boy once i was done i was feeling pretty overheated. burritos for dinner then *poof* it was time to start thinking about the week ahead.
training:
m: 1:15 (commute)
t: 0
w: 2:00 (commute, blackhawk short track)
r: 1:15 (commute)
f: 1:45 (commute)
s: 2:15 (road ride)
n: 1:15 (mtb)
total: 9:45
this week will be much lower training wise. thursday/friday we are heading up north to do some fun things w/cal and the in-laws. cal is spending the next week in gresham. i'm happy to have some time to do things around the house and for him to spend some time with his grandparents but i sure will miss him on fathers day (it just worked out that way).
happy monday.
