CJT1217's Journal, 18 July 2013

Holy elevation Batman!! I had to laugh at part 1:28 of the second part when you went past the guy that was running because I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself that I went running on the gravel road today and it was pretty sunny and HOT - and you and that guy are out there in what looks like a pretty dry, SCORCHING trail... ;) Nice work! 

Haha thx! Actually it was quite nice out there yesterday! But I think I'll rest up today and teach myself how to swim. 

Fun! I guess it just looks hotter because everything is really brown... I'm used to lots of green grass and trees around here! It is pretty fun to ride on your handlebars and see the sights though, very cool scenery! Have fun swimming! Wear some water wings! ;) 

Floaties and noodles, please! lol. I'm leaving for aircrew training hopefully sometime soon, and part of the training is water survival training in Florida ( youtube.com / watch?v=U3gqa-ooi1k ). So, I think I'd better get comfy with the water and learn to tread at least! If I can get up early tomorrow, I'll actually get to my Golden Gate / Presidio ride tomorrow in SF!  

Work keeps blocking all the fun links. Apparently you're "inappropriate material" for the work place. Poop 

Boooo!  

BTW, Erika, you can use Strava for running. Come join us when you return from vacation. 

What is the Golden Gate/Presidio ride? I'm going to look it up. 

Just a random ride. I'll start on the SF side of the Golden Gate Bridge, ride over and bike, and then loop around the Presidio, which used to be an army base.  

That water survival looks intense! Yeah, I would definitely work on at least treading water - that floors me that you don't know how to swim!! I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly.. 

I focussed on becoming comfortable with the water last thursday. I kept dunking myself and holding my breath and swimming around before standing up for air haha. But I did successfully swim one time and also treaded one time. Not bad for my first session! 

Nice work!!
