Rather than schlepping back and forth between Arizona and San Diego, I decided to plant myself in the desert for the two weeks between my sprint tri and Ironman Arizona.
Riding on the Beeline - one exciting stretch of road!
My friend Karleen scooter-ed the entire course with me.
After about 12 attempts, I got both of us in the same photo.
I was happy this storm didn't monsoon on me - I made it to the end of the ride with just dropping temps and sprinkles.
I've since migrated down to the dirty-T for some training and a reunion with
this guy. Last year we were rookie pros and raced every single race together. This year it's been way too long since I've seen him.
