Well...looks like the momentum of seeing Chrissie Wellington carried over for at least a day. Got up early and headed out to the mountains with Kebby and Steph.

We did the Laguna ride which starts in Pine Valley and goes up at 6 to 9% grade for the first 12 miles. We turned around at a Ranger station and extended the downhill past pine valley for another 3 miles.

I felt decent the whole day and was pleased with the workout. Kebby and Steph both kicked tail too. Kebby spent the day riding ahead then descending to the back of the group before passing everyone on the way up again. Despite a nine mile run on Saturday, Steph was strong too. About half way up Laguna, she dropped the hammer and dissapeared until a malicious bee stung her and slowed her down.

Officially, I start my Ironman Coeur d' Alene training on November first but this was one of the best "non-training" days I've had to date.
