Those of us who were not racing, spent Saturday soaking up the sun during a sweet 6 & 60 session! We did not get to ride in shorts like last week, but were able to shed a couple layers after the first 4 hours of the ride, and wear shorts during the transition run. It’s so freeing!

So, what do you do when you get a new training jacket, but could really use a vest? Or when the plastic cage that holds your helmet in place breaks? Well, if you’re Tim, you tear the sleeves right off the old jacket and tie that helmet together with twine! Check out the duds:

Who has twine

anyway?!

Fashion issues aside, the training session went really well, with a solid tempo session at the end of the ride and undulating run off the bike.

For dinner, we headed out to a lovely little pizza joint where 5 of us we were seated at a card table (literally), and treated to the lively conversation of a group of inebriated women taking full advantage of their “lady’s night out”. Not only was there pizza everywhere

(yeah, I know, that’s usually what they serve at pizza

restaurants), but, because we were celebrating Mikaela’s (my little sis) birthday, there was also CHOCOLATE cake with CHOCOLATE frosting. Oh, wow! That’s what we in the business call a Will Power Check! Well, I was strong – I had myself a delicious salad (you know, one those elaborate deals with a whole head of Iceburg lettuce, half a tomato, and a slice of cucumber?) and grilled chicken. For dessert? Protein shake! Yesssss!

Off to take advantage of the recovery day – nap time!

Bee Movie psp Somehow Tim and I made it through his cousin’s play later that night. The play itself was actually pretty entertaining, especially for a high school musical, but with the ride’s caffeine beginning to wear off about an hour before the opening act, I was nervous they’d find me sound asleep by intermission. As we’re generally ravenous for the hours following a 6&60, we packed food – lots of food! We brought salads, wraps, home-made sweet potatoe chips, and protein bars. Because food, especially four course meals, are not allowed in the auditorium, we needed to sneak our picnic in using my moblie pantry that a layman would mistake for a purse. We’re so slick!

We made it through the play, slept in on Sunday, rode outside AGAIN, cruised through our long runs, and topped the weekend off with an oh-so-fun core session! Now that’s a weekend!
