Hi Folks,
Looks like this week is clear until, probably the weekend; though Saturday’s Hill Repeats may be canceled due to rain.We need the rain! Cycling past Nicasio Reservoir provides the somber reminder that we are in a drought. We all need to start conserving water. I wince, when I see folks hosing down driveways and sidewalks.
Last weekend at Japan’s famous Lake Biwa Marathon an astounding record 40 Japanese Marathoners broke 2:10:00 for the marathon! (note that 2:11 marathon is a 5-minute per mile marathon. The winning time was 2:04:56; 5 ran under 2:07:15, 15 under 2:08, and 26 under 2:09! I think Japan has built up their team for the upcoming Olympics !
