Lenore and I did a Laura-style biathlon on Friday so she would be sufficiently tuckered out for her long plane ride. It was a Laura Double Hill Latte: 14 mile bike ride followed by 2 large hills to a latte at Starbucks. Here's the double hill, which if course is much steeper in real life.
Later that same weekend, I decided to try a triathlon, also of my own design:
Leg 1: Cutting the grass, weeding and transplanting hostas
Leg 2: 14-mile bike ride with Roland
Leg 3: Cherry picking with Roland and a second bike ride to my
folks' for dinner (and cherry pitting).
All in all, exhausting, but I made good time. Especially on the ride since I drafted off of Roland almost the whole time, but not because I was lazy, because HE showed up on his road bike and I had my mountain bike so it was only fair. With the wind at our backs, we averaged about 20 mph coming home. Sweet!

Thank goodness only the Internet is broken in Latvia and not the stoves...Pat
