My first posting

Well, I decided to create a blog to track to progress and record the experience of my first Furnace Creek 508 (www.the 508.com). This is by far the most logistically involved event that I have ever participated on, even in Ironman things are pretty much layout for you. Here I need to have my own crew and my own support vehicle.

I didn't start this on my own. Jessica (my teammate) was the one with the idea. I just followed along. Now however I am pretty invested on the event and I am looking forward to the challenges of the experience. The magnitude of the event has motivated quite a bit and my biking shape is finally coming around.

Training:

• A 3.5 hour ride (old la honda and West Alpine) in the morning. This is such a beautiful ride. We usually meet at Starbucks in Alameda (although this time was just Mike and I) and we go from there. The weather has been definitely changing and it was a bit chili this morning (fall is in the air).
• I am planning to go a 30 minutes spin and upper body this evening (probably around 8:30pm)
