No new records on my Ramps course, but that's because of changes in road conditions. My route includes my warmup through many stoplights, and the timing has been changed over the years, as the city has added vehicle sensors. Stopping and starting always adds a few seconds to my overall time, so I've always tried to use the course where I do my laps as the place to improve my time. But my route to the Bowl added a whole new stop light, so now there's another place for me to lose 20 seconds or so on course. Oh well.

What's heartening is that even with that extra possibility of time loss, my times this week were all near the top end of my peak fitness numbers. I figure I'll start seeing actual broken records in my next 3 week block.

  1. Hey Joe, it's great to see you're still going strong. Sorry for not posting a lot recently, the way YP ended really left me more than a little underwhelmed (although I actually watched the whole show again almost two entire times with an Overdrive re-run in the middle!)

    I still check your blog and am enjoying your tour tidbits. The animated GIFs were also a pleasant surprise. Keep up the good work!

    1. Hey, no worries. I was surprised with how they ended YP too. It was originally supposed to be 39 episodes, but with the announcement for the new season this Fall, maybe things got switched around and schedules got moved up. Pretty abrupt end, and then a 3 month cliffhanger was not the best way to go in my opinion.

      Thanks for checking out my Tidbits! With my workflow and experience with the 10 Second Anime feature, it's pretty easy to make gifs from the video snippets I see around the web. The Majka Wink Wink is my favorite by far.
