Out West
The morning levee ride was quite nice today. Still cool enough for arm-warmers, and a bit of a breeze kicking up toward the end, but there were six or seven of us and we rode mostly in a double paceline. Feeling better today, but not looking forward particularly to this afternoon's travel. We'll be heading out to Salt Lake City around 1:30 or so where the weather is not looking too nice. I had been hoping to be able to at least get in a long walk in Park City on Saturday morning, but if it's freezing and raining and snowing, the smart thing to do may be to have a nice cup of coffee and kick back. Anyway, I'll pack a variety of clothes and hope for the best. We will be flying FIRST CLASS on this trip. Because of we made reservations so late (using frequent flyer miles), that's all that was available. Actually, I find first class rather uncomfortable. The seats up there are designed for huge fat American businessmen, and as a result, the seat bottoms are too deep for my upper legs, and my feet don't hit the ground, so I have to prop them up on my carry-on bag. If they want to do it right, they should put in fully-adjustable seats like the ones you get in a nice car. The Regional Championships are Saturday night, but tonight we'll be going straight from the airport to meet the team for dinner somewhere in town, which means a late night trip from Salt Lake City to Park City on unfamiliar roads, probably in a combination of rain and snow. Should be interesting. Anyway, there will probably be live scoring on the web for the meet on the University of Utah Women's Gymnastics site.Don't know if I'll be able to get online over the weekend, since we're staying in a rental condo and I'm taking the old Gateway laptop without wireless.
