Hey Shredmaster!! You are getting those cycling legs ready for the wall in St. George.

Just wanted to way I'm totally stoked today too, but for different reasons. I was no hero today. No shredding, no hammerfest, but a super solid session. I chickened out of riding around the lake in the wind on my own today. Just didn't feel like being that far from home today. So I did a 2 hour steady trainer ride, a little stronger than last week, then did a 2 hour run at Kal Park. This is my longest run yet, and though it is a long way from the marathon I'll be running in just over 3 weeks, it was super solid, and felt fantastic. I'm getting excited now. I'll be on the 'light' end of trained for this race, but going in happy and healthy.

The Quail only rode for 5.5 km on sunday, so he Shredded himself today with a 5.5 hour super solo hammerfest, culminating by dropping everyone on the steep col de west kelowna!!  Quail shredded himself!!

Good going everyone!
