this morning was a mix of good and bad. i went on one of the worst bike rides on record, but that was quickly followed up by a fantabulous team in training info session.
first things first- the bike ride from hell. to start things off on a crummy foot, i had to wake up at 6:15 in order to get riding by 7am. clearly jenny and i both need a lesson on winter riding and the proper gear to avoid having your fingers so numb from riding in cold wind at high speeds that you can't physically move or bend them.
after about 2 1/2 hours of riding, it took 30 minutes in a warm shower to thaw myself and stop shivering. i'm glad that is over!
the team in training meeting was for people interested in possibly signing up for one of our races. it was awesome- everyone there was so pumped for the season and i could tell they were all really energetic and dedicated people. its going to be a great season.
of course the funniest thing that happened- i saw a guy there who introduced himself to me at the beginning of the meeting and i kept thinking he looked so familiar to me. finally when he was leaving, i yelled over to him, "hey! where did you go to high school?" and he responded that he went to highland park in dallas. small world! we figured out that he graduated the year after me, but of course he did not remember me, but remembered my older brother.
i guess thats what you get for being the editor of the newspaper. clearly i should have tried out for the football team.
