On the first day of my summer vacation...

So I have always told people that I have a really good sense of direction. Apparently I have been lying all these years...tonight is a great example of that. I headed out on the bike for a quick 30 minute ride (part of my alleged taper) but I kept finding cool roads to go down (ALL the roads here are void of traffic so they are great for riding). I soon came to realize that my 30 minutes were up and I was lost. It was also getting dark, I didn't have my cell phone with me, and I had no idea how to get in touch with my sister for help. I wasa getting a bit nervous becasue these roads are NOT the place you want to be lost in the dark; so I began to really hammer on the bike hoping that I would see something that I recognized. I finally made it back to the house before dark and my 30 minute ride became a 2 hour epic journey through central New Hampshire. I guess this is just karma for always making fun of those people who wear GPS units on their wrist for every workout ;-)

Here is a link for the race I am doing in New York this weekend www.musselmantri.com so Bev can make sure that the race is legit :-P
