It was a day of watching little people go very fast over flat terrain, German going fast over Brazil, things drying fast in the dryer and composing emails slowly.<\/p>\n<p>I rode a bit of the time trial course today. Thought I was taking it easy, but the computer was impressed. We&#8217;ll credit the new shoes, which still require some tinkering in fixing the cleats. <\/p>\n<p>I almost passed a car and I didn&#8217;t feel like I was working especially hard. The point today, for me, was just to stretch out my legs, work out the last of the stiffness from my Sunday run and get in a little run at the end.

Trixie lives there. Her trainers, apparently, called her a stump, because when she doesn&#8217;t want to go, you won&#8217;t move her. So she&#8217;s easy to take pictures of, even with a phone in low light. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tour de France, World Cup, laundry and work.
