Another great bike ride today, 35 miles total for me. Rode with Alyce and Neal. That's a pic of us post-ride, and then we went for some ice cream... much needed refreshment after a rather hot afternoon ride (hot for me since I prefer cool 60s F over the 85 F of today).
Was considering a run, but my left hamstring has been a bit tenuous, so I'm skipping the run today. Better to let the hamstring heal fully than to take a risk of outright straining it. I've already run more miles this week than last week, so I'm ok with that.
Re: the TdF today: Lance did great covering any moves Frank Schleck made going up Mont Ventoux. Pretty impressive all around comeback by Lance. The guy was 3.5 years removed from competition, and at 37 is racing at the top echelon of the sport, placing 3rd overall after tomorrow's ceremonial ride into Paris. Not to mention all the work that he does with the LAF (Lance Armstrong Foundation) in raising awareness and research funds for the global fight against cancer. Gotta respect his talent and dedication, both on the bike and with his activism.
