wind much?

after the morning wake up call of a little thunderstorm (where did that come from) i couldn't believe how windy it was...i wasn't in the mood for my usual ride so i decided to hit the loop at the end of mopac called the autobahn...i figured i would be ok out there in the blustery conditions since in most places there is enough shoulder for me to blow around in...but seriously it is a head wind both ways...i don't get that...

just did a nice easy 45m out there...nothing special nothing shocking...1.5 loops then it was off the bike and on the run for 20m in that little neighborhood by the veloway...i wonder if those folks are used to seeing all the triathletes jogging through their neighborhood...no matter what time i am there i always see at least one other who is like me...

in the evening i met up with richard...(uh why did no one tell me it was _the_ richard...hot aussie pro richard) to work on the wetsuit issue...the result was ok...no brand new wet suit...which i had a feeling about...i tried but hey what are you going to do...but it is fixed...so that is good...and yes...it is just the draw back of a super comfortable and flexible wetsuit....when you breathe on it it might rip...

getting a little nervous for captex this weekend...just the pre-race jitters...so i think saturday i might ride a loop on the course and see how it is...can't hurt to see what i will be doing...right
