Thurs 25 Nov (AM) Thanksgiving

Outback Distance Classic (Half Marathon) in Jax. There were abt 5K ppl on hand 4 the event. They didn't have the t-shirt size I ordered (foul) had to settle for a Med. I didn't have a great race due to one or more of the following factors: nutrition, humidity/heat, going out too fast, residual fatigue, not enough sleep, who knows. I wasn't feeling it in the 2nd half of the race for some unknown reason. I gutted it out doing some run/walk for the last 4 miles or so. That sucked. Finished @ 1:52:54 or so. Blah.

Sat 13 Nov (Day 2 Savannah Bike Tour)

Were on the road back to St M @ 0700. Wx was cold @ 38F. I took off in front & was never passed (I was trying to warm up (20+) which never really happened). Fortunately I had my booties on which helped slightly with the feet (but not totally). I pulled into Darien (46 mi) in abt 2:30 hours. By this point I was well ahd of the others. I stopped at the Subway & had some soup while I waited. The rest of the guys showed up abt 30 minutes later as I was preparing to leave. Turns out Chuck had locked himself out of his van near the interstate near Riceboro, Ga. So we stayed about another 45 min waiting for Chuck to show post AAA unlocking his van. After getting back on the road we made our way 26 mi S to Brunswick. I was passed when I stopped to get pics & pee at the Getwood Baptist church. I never caught back up until the McDonalds in Brunswick. As we pulled out of town I got in the lead again being passed on the bridge (the tallest bridge in Ga) by one guy who ended up getting a flat on the way down the far side as one of the expansion joints had a crooked plate on top causing a 4" rise which he must have gone over blindly (or bluntly). I passed by at the base roadway departing the causeway & as he had assistance coming to his aid I pressed on. I enjoyed the full sun & the cool conditions through the miles to Waverly stopping for a bathroom break there. Just as I was commencing to depart Terry showed up (the others were some minutes back). We departed together a number of minutes later swapping the lead several times but the pace was too high for him so I was again alone on the road heading for home. My GPS lost battery power about 10 miles from the house. I arrived at home @ 1425 hours having ridden abt 226-7 miles in 2 days. It was a good ride and my legs and endurance were good throughout. One of these days I'd like to do the entire distance from state line to state line.

Friday 12 Nov 10

Day 1 of the Veterans Day Weekend 400K. We met at the bike shop in St Marys. Didn't end up leaving til late as one of the dudes (& passenger) was late arriving 0900. Got over to Hwy 17 hung a left & went down to the state line (Florida) Stopped at all of the memorial parks in the first several towns. That got a bit old. Stopped at too many places and had too many stops. Lunch in Darien (abt mile 60)(Subway) was delayed as well. Did not make it all the way to Savannah as darkness fell. Ended up stopping in Richmond Hill (abt 10 miles S of savannah). I had 120 miles on the Garmim at that point. I felt good at the end and had had good fueling throughout the day.

Wed 10 Nov 10 (AM)
