Milestone

I have been following the Ironman World Champs all day... starting with watching the swim start to watching the finish... amazing. This gives me inspiration for next year. Or now, actually.

And this morning I did a ride with a few guys from the tri club... About 15 miles straight south into a headwind, pacelining average 19mph! And then coming back was a nice tailwind though not so serious pacelining. And I added on 14 more miles to average 18.3 for a 44 mile ride. And this was NOT a race!

I think my goal for the coming year is to get fast on the bike. To see women splitting 20mph+... crazy. I want to do that!

We watched part of the U of I football game today and I thought of you when they showed part of the campus. It looked beautiful this time of year--my favorite time of year there with all the color, pumpkins, fall festivals, etc. I always made applesauce from the Jonathan apples in our yard and cooked rhubarb for pies. Yum! Later, I cooked up our Halloween pumpkins and made pumpkin bread, cookies, pudding, pies. Yum!Yum! Good memories!
