Busy day. I slept in, a little, til 7ish, then hustled to the gym to lift and be active. Did some strength work and, because my hip had been feeling good all week, I decided to try running on the treadmill.

As it’s been during this “hip injury”, it felt both stiff and awkward. I started at 12-minute pace and gradually worked my way down to 8:00. It didn’t feel horrible but never felt good. Then, unfortunately, for the rest of the day, it was worse. It wasn’t too bad as we packed up for the trip to Bellingham, but it worsened as the day went on, including while driving.

We split driving duties to Bellingham: CA drove just enough to allow me to get some work done, but allergies made her super-tired, so I finished the latter half of the drive while she slept. Traffic in and around Seattle SUCKED.

Got to Bellingham around 4:30. I had my ailing bike with me and decided I’d try to get it fixed. Earl’s Bike Shop on the north side of town, maybe a mile from our Airbnb, came through and fixed it in under a half hour. But by then, it was getting late, my hip felt like shit, and I didn’t want to ride. So I did nothing, while CA did a 2-3 mile shake-out.

We went to packet pickup, where I saw Jeff Boggess in the vendor area. I made sure to go talk to him, just to be sure things weren’t awkward as the result of our parting-ways in sponsorship. I’ve been a “Team TB” guy since 2013, but in 2018, I didn’t do a single social media post for them (or, nearly, anything). As such, it was no surprise that I got this guilty break-up e-mail in February. No worries. I neither needed nor truly wanted the support. He and I, and Callie, had a nice chat, then we left for dinner.

Ate at the fabulous and extremely busy Aslan Brewing, a fully organic brewery in Bellingham. Excellent everything.

After that, back to the Airbnb to prep for tomorrow. I’m excited for CA, and for a long bike ride I have planned.
