Three Quick Thoughts From Madison
1- The Endurance Nation dinner ended up ok, even though there were some hiccups. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it.
2-Lake Monona looks less green – but still smells like a sewage plant. I’ll know more tomorrow after the OWS practice.

First Race Rehearsal Is Here
As part of the EN training-to-execute strategy, I am doing my first race rehersal this weekend. It’s not ideal because of the upcoming mini-vacation to Chicago, and the kids are doing a bicycle race in Fond Du Lac early on Saturday. So, I need to improvise. I’m looking at 100miles on the [...]
