20K TT at Fiesta Island

This morning I woke up WAY too early to make up my 20K TT that I missed yesterday. Danny and I pulled up to the Island about 6:20am! It was just getting light outside. Ever since I got a dog my “morning routine” has gotten longer… so I didn’t have a lot of time to […]

A Solid Week in the Books!

I woke up this morning and it was raining outside. Based on past experiences riding in the rain I decided that I would skip the Fiesta Island brick workout and do the run workout. Well, It turns out that I am a moron and didn’t read my email because apparently there was no run workout […]

Watch Out for BALLS!

Last night was the Breakaway Training track workout at La Jolla High School . I am SO happy that Felipe moved track back to LJHS as before, I was unable to attend due to traffic. One thing about running on that track however, is that the lacrosse players practice at the same time. If you […]

Being a Leader

Last night Michael, Vanessa, Jen, Felipe, Chris, Ramon, Kelly, Christa, Marty and I went to all-you-can-eat sushi again. It was an awesome time… as is any get together that involves getting to watch Felipe and Ramon eat together. Caballo this and caballo that. For a couple of Brazilian/Mexican-Americans, they sure talk a LOT about […]

SUSHI!!!

Last night Felipe, Michael, Vanessa, and I met up at Aloha Sushi for an all-you-can-eat hippie sushi festival. Except none of us are hippies. My hat goes off to Michael, Felipe, and Vanessa for doing a hell of a job pounding down the sushi. I, on the other hand, did not bring my a-game due […]
