Third Annual Bieber Weekend.....

Well for the third year in a row a few people came up here for a weekend of riding, running, swimming and fun. It was a small group this year which made it nice and mellow...mellow except for the riding!!  Preben was truly on a mission to keep things rolling.  He and Jeanne O'Regan rode 250 miles in three days.  Jeanne did the last 75 with only one cleat!!  She also got some running in.  She will be completing the Vineman Ironman on August 1. It was incredible to watch her train this weekend.  I was able to complete 150 miles of riding, a couple of swims and a short run.  I am feeling more confident now about getting to Worlds and actually being able to perform. Reene Fiack was here as well..she is dealing with carpal tunnel and is not cycling these days but she is  getting ready to qualify worlds in Newport Beach on July 26th.  We spent time talking about how much fitness we already have after the years of training and how surprised we are at how much we can pull out.  We also had fun talking,watching a movie, eating, BBQ, playing Yahtzee (jeanne kicked our ass here too!), and soaking in the hot springs.  Jeanne said it best as she left..."I got great training AND had a blast doing it....."  I think the only down side for Preben was not getting to watch Tour De France....we will have to figure out how to plug in next year.

So next on the agenda is the Donner Lake Triathlon in Truckee this Sunday 7/19....a few women from the cub will be there for this very challenging course. I plan to do well with my swim and transitions, I will work the bike a bit but will not run.  I will be in touch from there.  The summer is heating up and so are the women in the club!!
