Around Doctor's Lake with Kent and James.  Easy ride to make sure nothing falls off the bike before we head to the mountains tomorrow.  I swapped a compact crank and 11-32 cassette on the race bike, and even though I'm vastly exceeding the recommended tooth range on the rear, it shifts OK.  Cranks don't creak, either..fingers crossed.

Home from work on the TT bike.  Got a bit more of a ride than I bargained for as I flatted about 5 miles in, with no spare.  Flat bag was off of the bike and I didn't spot it this morning at 0530...doh.  Rode it home flat and still averaged 19 mph.  :)

Down to the Y, 10 minutes on the treadmill followed by 1500 meters on the rowing machine.  I like that thing, even though it makes my butt hurt.  So many jokes...

Down to Keystone and back with Kent and a good group.  5 flats today so we got plenty of good interval workouts..

Nice roads down around the lake there, goats and pigs for sale (is it a sign of redneck-ness that I think it might be OK to have a few goats?).  We went pretty hard coming back, started shedding people coming into M'burg.

Morning shop ride, chasing the group down to Black Creek as I got up late.  Then out to GCS, and back, fairly easy.

Strength

Crossfit WOD, overhead squat, front squat, back squat, 1-1-1-1-1 each.

Rode down to the Y, warmed up on the tread mill, did squats.  I am struggling to find a balance point for overhead squats; I felt like I progressed a bit tonight even if I almost dropped the bar a couple of times..  :-)  Finished with 95 lbs.  Then front squats; took some tips from a guy in the gym to try balancing the bar with 3 fingers on my shoulders.  Possible, but I need more wrist flexibility.  Almost dropped it again.  105 lbs.  Finished with back squats, which at least I am used to and finished with 275.

Ten more kipping pullups to finish.  I can do 5 and then I start swinging the wrong way, or something.
