Hattie had a home meet on Saturday. This meant I would finally be able to go see her compete this year! The meet was in Gorham and started at 1:00. So in order for me to get in a ride and make it over to Gorham in time for her meet I would ride to Gorham and put my bike in the car. The ride over was good. I ran into Marry Ann Stover on the ride and talked with her for a few. Turns out she is crazy enough to do the Jay Peak Winter bike race. Good Luck to you. Turns out the winds were crazy strong and I was riding into them! This slowed me down, forcing me to pick up the pace in order to make it in time for the meet. The legs felt good pushing a harder gear than normal this time of year. Turns out I made it just in time to watch Hattie's first flight of the hurdles. She ran an 8.69! thats more than .1 faster than last week, a new PR!! 

The meet went until 7pm, but I didn't mind, because I was able to meet up with some friends I haven't seen in a while and the time went by quickly.  After the meet Hattie and I along with some friends went out for dinner. It was great to just relax and socialize with friends. 

Sunday I was up semi early and planned to go do the ride I wanted to last week, but couldn't because I forgot my shoes. This time I didn't forget anything. So I drove up to West Minot and parked my car in a church parking lot. www.mapmyride.com said the loop would be about  60 miles or just over. Turns out the ride was 75 miles! I knew it was going to be hilly, but I forgot how big the climbs were! This meant I was running out of day light and again had to pick up the pace. I pulled off a 17+mph avg when all said and done.  The up side was that across the street from the church was a general store. The general store had a bakery and they even had carrot cake! So I picked up a piece and enjoyed it on my ride home. 

I was rushing to get back home in time for the big game, the Super Bowl. I made it home in time for kick off. Enough said about that.

No phone call this morning to go sub. I have to pack up Maggie's stuff and get her ready to go home. My parents fly in this afternoon and I have to pick them up. It will be sad to see Maggie go, but she is high maintenance, so it will free up some time. 

Enjoy your day.
