Solvang 2008 Summary

Solvang 2008

This year I was very excited to come to Solvang as a coach instead of as an athlete. Last year it was a lot of fun and this year it was going to be better. My only concern was my lack of training miles. I had ridden an average of 1 hr a week since November.

I was pretty surprised when I saw you down on the Jalama beach race!! Well - crashes happen and I've certainly had a fair few in all the racing I've done!! All the best and it was such a fantastic camp for Karen and I.

Had a fun swim with Gordo and the boys that last Saturday. Wish you could have been there. We did a 100 fly for time at the end of the workout (not my idea). Nice way to polish off the camp, ugh!

Are you doing any meets in April?

It was a pleasure meeting and riding with you. You are a delight to be with and have a beautiful family. Best to Elizabeth and Kai (sp?).

Are you feeling better?
