Rain or Shine

Today's Saturday group workout was a Mission Workout. We began with all the teams - running, walking, hiking, and cycling - completing a mile in silence. Along the path were signs about why we are doing this - like that leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children under the age of 20. It was a very moving mile.

The only small issue was that it was misting all morning. Which put a damper on the cornering clinic we were supposed to do. We headed to a parking garage where we could get out of the rain to talk about the concepts in cornering. On the way there, we went down a very steep hill. In the rain. Did I mention that I didn't get a chance to take my bike out this week? So this was my first time on the bike in a year and a half - and I was careening down a slick hill with wet brakes. Challenging to say the least.

Then we did a couple hilly loops around the Northwest Hills area. Chris and I both experienced a couple "senior moments" - which lever shifts up vs. down? But we both finished, despite being out of shape. Overall a good first workout for us!
