successful Saturday

[ilanarama]

Today I managed to get to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory 2nd quality sale long enough before the doors opened to be in the first batch of people admitted, which means I scored the small amount they had of the java toffee and dark chocolate macadamia toffee and some of the few truffles. Alas, they had only a small truffle selection, and no Rocky Mountain mints. But we are re-chocolated for the summer. (Also? I can't believe how many people were standing in line before the doors opened. I guess this is what passes for a big event in Durango!)

I got out of there a half hour and approximately $50 later, raced home, got in my cycling clothes and hopped on my bike and went to the second Durango Mountain Bike Camp women's clinic. And managed not to kill myself horribly or even take a spill, although I did bail on a couple of switchbacks I ought to have tried. One woman did fall on an exposed curve and went flying off the edge of the cliff into a dead tree, which pretty much is why I cautiously bailed on it. (She did not die horribly, but there was a good deal of blood.)

So I call it a successful day. Tomorrow I run a trail 10K up a steep-ass hill, and down the even steeper-ass other side. I shall try not to kill myself horribly.
