Note to self…

Don't get dressed in the dark!
Friday night's party was in full karaoke force when I left. I had an early morning - a 14 mile run in the hills of Portola Valley. So while the hits kept coming, I headed home.
Saturday came early - about 6:00 AM. I got up and pulled on a pair of tri-shorts and running shorts over those. I got to the start just before seven and warmed up. I took off with wave 2. Since I'd been dropped by wave 3, I figured I could move back a wave and have folks to run with.
We took off at 7:20 at a nice pace. Within about 5 minutes, I realized that my tri-shorts had a hole on the left inner thigh. That's gonna hurt. Guess I should have looked more closely when I got dressed.
The run was fantastic. I don't actually believe it was 14 miles - because I did the run in 2:14 and it was hilly. But it was a beautiful course, and I felt good all day (except for the chafing on my thigh). After a good breakfast at Buck's, I headed home to find a 4 inch patch of raw skin.
The next morning was IronTeam kickoff. 46 athletes, and 11 staff make the biggest South-Bay IronTeam ever! Lots of fun to come!
Go Team!
