While my stay here in San Diego has been awesome, time has come to return to "normal life"...yea, whatever that is??? I had 4 hours this a.m. before i had to catch my plane, so i planned on some neuromuscular stuff and then a short ride to round out the time. My legs actually felt much better today, maybe they are getting used to this routine. I headed down to Fiesta Island (little island just off of San Diego by Sea World with lots of beach and a huge dog park amongst other things) as it is flat and perfect for 1-leg pedal drill. I completed an hour of 1 leg pedaling
and my hip flexors were ready to kill me- dun! I never did catch-up to Arnie Baker's ride, hopefully next time, but they do have a TT down here every month - sounds pretty cool, maybe next time too. Well, it has been fun, very educational and exhausting, just what i needed. Using this experience, I've already got my training planned out for my next trip out here in late January...anyone for a little training trip? 70 and sunny has been nice, but i'm excited about getting back to some nice white stuff and long skis at Battle Creek.

You not only caught up to AB, you passed him pedaling with one leg.
Do you remember that you passed a rider who said: "Hi, Ben. How are you doing."
Did you consider slowing down, for just a minute, when you were doing those ILTs at about 8:00 AM, to inquire how someone on the Island, far from your own home, knew your name?
Oh, bummer - when i passed that rider (you evidently),i thought you said, "how are you man?"...What a moron - totally my bad as i'm usually the one stopping to chat with everyone...guess 5 days has shot me - sorry, I'd love to have chatted. I'll send you an email with ?'s on how we can proceed and costs.
