It is a gorgeous day here in Calgary today. The weatherman says it will be 26 degrees here today and I'm stuck inside working on version 2 of my Google Map application. I did manage a ride into work this morning and a run during lunch so I got to enjoy a bit of the sun. This morning was a little cool but it was hot like heck during lunch. I did a short 20 minute rip down to the curling rink on Memorial Drive with some accelerations thrown in for good measure.

Mentally, I am excited to get the first race of the season done this Sunday. Physically, I feel ill-prepared. I am still over my normal race weight and my legs haven't fully recovered from last weekend. Not a terrible thing at the moment as I plan to have one major peak this summer and that is for the Calgary 70.3 in August. But for someone who prefers to be prepared for anything and everything, this is a great lesson in "letting-it-go".

Apres work, Mel is picking me up so I can drop my bike off to Speed Theory for a major tune-up. After that it is off to the Clay Oven to meet our buds for some eats and laughs. Tomorrow we have a bank appointment to switch some stuff over from Halifax to here. I believe I am suppose to swap out some exterior lights for ones we brought with us from the east coast as well. I don't plan on doing much on Saturday other than hydrating, eating well, and trying to stay off my feet as much as possible. At some point tomorrow I'll have to head down to the Max Bell Centre and pick up my race package.

Sunday is race day! I still haven't figured out how I am getting down town to the start site. I'd imagine parking will be limited.

Happy Friday Friends!
