6 July 2006
Yesterday was my first day off of training in almost 2 weeks. Lauren (sister) and I went to Hanover, NH for the day. She had some stuff to do for school there (she goes to Dartmouth) so I walked around campus and town for the afternoon. Dartmouth is definitely one of the nicest campuses in the country. I also noted that there are no fat people in the entire town of Hanover...everyone there is super fit and every car has a bike/kayak rack. Today Lauren and I hung out with her friend Gordon who is somewhat of a local celebrity (well, at least in is own mind). We did some hiking in the White Mountains and then ate lunch at a cool place in the small mountain town of Bethlehem. Gordon went to high school with the olympic skiier, Bodie Miller so he took us on the "What Would Bodie Do" tour of the town that he grew up in. After that we went home and I biked 30 miles. I wanted to do a relaxing ride because my calves are still sore from my mega-hike. Unfortunately there are no easy rides around here because I'm in the middle of the mountains so my easy ride becasue a 2.5 hour hammer fest up endless hills. I may be doing a tri in VT this weekend with Matt Boobar (Lauren's boyfriend's roomate). He is a professional Xterra (off road triathlon) racer who will most likely win the elite division. I'm gonna try to get him drunk the night before to even the field a bit (I learned that trick from Tracy).

Bonus points if you can get him to hurl. Based on a sliding scale with more points for the later in the race he tosses said cookies (since an early technicolor yawn would likely make him feel better and maybe perform better).
