Monday was a day off. Tues would have been nice too but I had the itch to swim and I felt ready to step it up. Erek Swenson captained the boat on the river and I attempted the mile swim on the river. It was a feel good mile because of the current and the strong north wind. Non the less it was a solid half-hour of swimming and it felt good to stretch the practice out some more.
Wednesday was a bike day and it was clear to me that I needed one more day of rest. There was no turning back though because I was riding for the first time with a good buddy who bikes two to three hundred miles a week for fun. Andy you rock, some day I hope to have half of what you have on the bike. All in due time I know. So I was pushed and did not quit out because my legs were still burned out from last Sundays race. Thank you Andy.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. - Helen Keller
Some times we do not want to be in that position, because life is not always pretty. But you can choose for that suffering to be worth something, there are benefits. Do you believe that? Do I believe that?

Don't worry Andrew, one day you WILL have half (if not more) of what Andy has on the bike. I was already impressed with your results of last Sunday...Anyway, this was just to let you know that I subscribed to your blog and I will check back regularly. I'm very glad and proud to have you as a friend...!
Talk soon,
John
