I picked up my car from the garage yesterday. It was rather expensive at just shy of 800. I put it on a credit card, but I have previously paid that amount in anticipation of the charge. My car is good to go now, so I can get back on track financially and really start working on cutting down my debt.

I rode my bike last night. I felt really strong. I was able to clear all logs. I also climbed a big climb in the middle ring. I rode my bike like it was a single speed. For the race, if I ride this strong I can put in an under 2-hour lap. Endurance may be an issue, but at this point there is nothing I can do about it as I only have one long ride left. Everything seems to be coming together. My weight is at my goal weight.
