After months and months I'm finally installing Garmin Connect on my tablet/laptop. That is basically the only thing I've been using my old laptop for.

Second place in my TT by two seconds. Dropped my chain, took me maybe 4-5 sec to pedal that back on. We're not going to think about that. Eight women racing today- we three fastest times were within 11 seconds of each other.
PR for me on the course, I pretty happy with it. Technically rode well, good splits, good power. Not as smooth as I'd like but I was being kind of lax with my upper power limit today, I'd been riding strong all week and didn't want to limit the top end needlessly. Despite that, raced with a VI of 1.0, which is as good as you can get re: power variability.
Really like the TTs, just fascinating to me. It's very interesting trying to race these things perfectly.

Just got home from a triathlon.
Chain Dropper did well and may make the National Draft Race.
Clown 2 did not have a good day.

I rode down to the Kum & Go for drinks and snacks and only had to stop once because the wind was gusting so strongly it was pushing me and the bike backwards. (Also, the wind blew my bike over when I was in the store.) While I was stopped, I saw a familiar face and called across the road, very much surprising LoP who was riding around playing Pokemon Go and didn't know I was out riding too. I have discovered that playing music on my phone- no headphones- distracts the part of my brain that's overthinking my riding and helps me get a cadence going.
I always forget I'm on the bike and buy too much crap there and today I had to wrap the bag around my hand to keep it from blowing around too much. So, there I was going down the road with my hot dogs and chips, hauling a 32 ounce cup in my bottle cage, singing along with Kylie Minogue and Cher. Too much fun.

Thanks.
CD had a really good race. She started out a little rough. She came out of the water mid-group. She got with a good draft group and made up some distance on the bike. She had a decent run and finished well.
C2 was doomed from the start. The run from the swim exit to the bike in transition was long and uphill. And, the poor girl just isn't a runner. She came into Swim/Bike transition near the end. Had a good bike ride, but the final run killed her and she finished last.
