Weekend Recap.

Windy was the word for the weekend, with a south wind gusting at 30mph for most the weekend our on the water time was cut short but we did get out Saturday for a little while. With summer like temps pushing the near 90 degree mark it was beautiful other than the wind. Wind and Winded was the word at the mountain bike race at Maplelag Sunday. Getting a side ache early on had me at a crawling pace for a majority of the race trying to recover, but I was able to suck it up enough to come in 12th overall out of 37 riders in the Citizen Class and finished 3rd in my age group. I guess the lack of riding for the summer showed and my lack of "setting the pace" experience didn't help either, but over all it was a great time and I'm looking forward to next year with hopefully some better preparation prior to it. Eleni starts her second year of preschool tomorrow and she's excited to get back into it and seeing her teacher. Marlo is continuing to grow and starting to fill out more and more every day. She loves to smile and the majority of the time holds a big grin on her face that melts a Daddy and Mommy's heart.
