Weigh-in, 6/27/08

184 today--it's going down! I was kind of hoping for 182-183 this week so I could stay on track for my plan to hit 150s by the end of the year, but coming off what was essentially a two-year plateau I'm grateful for what I can get.

Training this week has been kind of light...other than the test ride on Monday and the team ride Tuesday, I haven't ridden at all. My regular Wed ride has been moved to Sunday, and I thought last night's team ride would get rained out so I didn't go. Weather turned out fine, but at 5:00 it was looking pretty ugly.

Anyway, I've been spending my evenings searching in vain for my Garmin Edge so I can use it on Sunday. Folks, I have lost the hell out of that thing. I know exactly when I last used it, and where. I know what car I was driving at the time, and what laptop bag I was using. There are only a handful of places it could be, and yet...it is not in any of them I've checked so far. I'm afraid it has taken a trip to the Island of Lost Things. At $250-300, I can't afford to just replace it, and certainly not before Sunday. I really want to use it then, too, because the new bike won't have a computer. I can gauge the difference between the S6 and the Orca by how well I'm able to stay with the group, but if/when I lose the front of the group I'll lose my base of comparison. Not that it really matters, since I'm buying the bike either way, but I want NUMBERS, dammit. :)

Between this and my ipod nano (lost that 2 weeks ago), I'm beginning to think that my house has a hidden portal to another dimension somewhere. Perhaps in the corner behind the computer desk?

UPDATE: A very kind and generous friend has offered the use of his Edge this weekend. Thanks, dude!
