north on golden lantern to aliso creek then up alicia pkwy to santa margarita pkwy down el toro

to my sista's house!  it was a beautiful day! super clear, i couldn't have asked for anything more :) (if only every day could be as good as today, and if only slater had warned me of all the hills)

newps ride

Before heading home we decided to do some mt. bike ridding at montana de oro (mountains of gold)!  

Wednesday ride to Oceanside

Today i logged in 60 miles of cycling... mandy and me rode from dana point to oceanside.  I was super excited to go that distance, even though my lower back was killing me the last five miles or so.  I'm trying to get some miles in before the big Halloween ride of 88 miles from the irvine train station to downtown san deigo!  It was a super fun day with mandy and hopefully we can do it again soon!

Santa Barbara Tri

santa barbara was a fun triathlon...
i was a little worried about the distance because i really wasn't training specifically for it!
the swim:
distance = 1 mile
I felt really good on the swim, i was slow but i was able to swim the whole distance without stopping and having
to breast stoke for a break! very exciting! our wed. night ocean swims are paying off!l
i'm also getting use to swimming in a pile of people..... we were like a school of fish with no rhythm or rhyme just major chaos...
the bike:
distance =35 miles
the bike was fun.... half way through i saw slater riding in the other direction, if only i was as fast as him!
the run:
distance = 10 miles
i felt really good on the start of the run.. just as i was running about one mile out slate was running in for his big finish
i was jealous i was wishing i was done! i still had 9 miles to go.. the las two miles were the hardest for me and i was
ready to be finished! i pushed through the pain and was glad to be finished! my total time was 04:46:06.
