mon pere


A few things that remind me of mon pere:

baseball fields
ice cream
finding sand dollars while walking on the beach
paper routes
coconut (ha ha!)
barbeque grills
lionel richie (can you guess why??)
tools

Happy Father's Day to the one I compare all others too!
See you in 6 days for a walk on the beach at low tide.

little red

*Pre-ride*

My goal for 2010 was to complete a century bike ride. CHECK!

The first weekend of June I drove, yes, DROVE to Utah to ride in the Little Red Riding Hood century up in Cache Valley. I signed up with two friends but they both had to pull out at the last minute due to a family event and injury. Lucky for me one of my old San Diego roommates, who now lives in Park City, was up for the challenge. I also met up with an old boss from Intermountain Healthcare who I adore and who rides it every year. It took 8 hours (that includes lunch and breaks!) which was a long time of looking at dairy farms. It was a beautiful day! I can say that running a marathon is harder than riding 100 miles. Though my knees may disagree.

I drove all the way back to San Diego the day after the race. Quick trip but worth it for checking off my big goal for the year.

*100 miles - done!*

Next year Ironman 70.3 in Kona???? Any takers?????
