February 16th - 22nd: 67 total miles with a solid 10 mile road race in Amherst, MA.
Monday: Started off the week
terribly with my car battery being dead in Karen’s driveway. She already left
for work so I was riding solo. I called a couple towing companies to assess the
situation better. They stated there are a few people in the same situation. It
would be a while. Ughh. I called my co-worker to cover my training class. Ended up calling my buddy
Pete Rowell who came through in the clutch and drove over within 15 minutes of
contacting him. We picked up a new battery right down road and drove back to
install it. NOTE: The windchill was roughly -25 degrees. A free toolkit (provided
by my mom’s old work) was all I had sitting in my trunk to change out the old battery. Somehow, we
succesfully changed the battery (a couple indoor breaks to prevent any frostbite and regain feeling back in the fingertips)
and my baby started right up. Thanks again Pete and hope you end up reading this!
I made a pit stop at home before heading to work to find
a large care package. Ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning and found 300
LÄRABARS plus a few other goodies. My face shows my excitement...
A free box of LÄRABARs!
6 miles (NT) in the evening on the treadmill after work
in Guilderland to top off the day of adventure.
