I’m in a better mood now. Thanks for your concern. :mrgreen:

I’ve been having some issues with my bike computer not registering speed for the past week or so. It would work intermittently, so I thought it might have been a weak battery problem (I haven’t changed the battery since I bought the setup over a year ago). I replaced the batteries midweek and everything seemed to be working ok the following ride. Yesterday, I started having the same problem again. :mad: I finally took the computer off the mount and held it closer to the sensor to see if it was a distance problem or something (I have a wireless unit) and it did pick up signal. After toying with it for a while, I found that it would pick up the signal everywhere except while it was mounted! After looking at it for a while, I realized that my the computer mount was installed “upside down” after I broke my aerobars and had to have them replaced. Not that I can see why this would really cause any problems? The mount is just a piece of plastic with a screw holding it on either on the top or on the bottom. But I guess the screw did cause some interference because it seems to be working fine again. We’ll see if it stays that way.

Hmmm… what else. I ran a 10k yesterday morning. I thought about running it hard, but decided against it with IM Wisconsin being just a few weeks away. I didn’t want to leave myself shelled for my first peak week next week. I ran 50 minutes and change which is a hair over 8 min/mile pace. It was a nice comfortable pace. I ran with a friend of a friend’s wife (our runner at the Turtleman Triathon relay). It was a nice comfortable temperature around one of the nicer lakes here in the Twin Cities.

I skipped going to a wedding yesterday. It was for some people who used to be in my small group but that I didn’t know very well. I may have talked to them for a few minutes during the months that we were in the same group and certainly didn’t know them well enough to feel comfortable being a guest at their wedding. What really rubbed me the wrong way though was seeing their registery (my girlfriend ended up going and getting them a gift). They registered for some pretty expensive stuff, but their wedding seemed to have been a very thrifty (for lack of a better word) deal. Most certainly, their wedding wouldn’t have cost any more for 100 people than it would have for 150. So the whole thing makes me think that they were just inviting people for sake of receiving more gifts instead of them wanting those individuals to be a part of their special day. It was brought up too that perhaps they didn’t want to offend anyone and just invited everyone? I don’t know but it seemed shady to me. I hate to say it, but I’m glad I didn’t go.

I went to go watch Open Water last night. I was pretty disappointed. I didn’t have high expectations, but some folks were saying it was good. I didn’t think so. It was rather boring with an ending which I didn’t really care for, but I won’t go into details in case you’re planning on watching it. There are still a bunch of movies out that I’d like to see. I should see if I can cram them all in today - last day of my recovery week. :(
