I was driving the mail lady crazy today. I was on the return leg of an out and back 30 km ride when I passed her while she was stopped at a mailbox. After I got by she pulled out and passed me but when she stopped again, I passed her again. Depending on how far away the next mailbox was she would have to repeat the same pass and get passed strategy, or simply hang behind me in the case of a nearer next mailbox. This went on for about 10 minutes before I finally pulled away from her for good. Alas, I suppose that faster then Canada Post may not be that fast anyway eh? But it feels very very good riding with a steady tailwind. I feel like I could ride forever.
I followed up my short ride with a short run (4.5kms) and for the rest of the day I felt like I hadn't done enough. That's ok too I guess as it left me with the energy to open the pool.
Oh, by the way, by the time I got back from my run the mail had arrived at our house.
I'm looking forward to doing my IM distance swim tomorrow morning, but since that's more than 300 lengths of this pool I think I'll still go to the Y. The water's a little warmer there as well. I'll be willing to bet that Colby is in the pool here as soon as it's clear and healthy, but I don't think you'll find me in there for a while....even with a wetsuit!
I wish to dedicate day 250 to Janice our mail lady, even if she never brings me anything I like!
