Skipped Race...and Flying Ducks...

So this past Sunday was the Tantalus TT...on a wet wet rainy day. For the first time in a LONG time...I ddddddddidn't do this race...I'll miss the T-shirt for sure...

Last Thursday I did Tantalus after work and I went pretty dang hard...and could only do a 24:37...considering I did that same time last year in training...I probably would have done a mid 23 something during the race. My new pedaling style seems to be helping a bit, although, I still need to perfect it...for sure, I have more options versus only riding from the back like before.


On late Satuday afternoon, I ran at a medium pace for about 6 miles or so from Ala Moana to Kapiolani and back. The highlight of the day was running with my ipod back along Ala Wai Blvd.


While running, two ducks flew waist high right in front of me, sort of diagonally from left to right, high to low, far to close. If I thought fast, I probably could have stuck my hand out and grabbed them! The neat part being, I could clearly see the second duck's still head and neck very clearly, but the wings were just a blur...sort of like a movie...now that was neat...

Not exactly the same, but you get the idea...
