I am again amazed at the timliness of your weekly quote. "It is
impossible to make one's race preparation foolproof … because fools
are so ingenious!"

Apparently you and I are both striving to be ingenious fools.

While your list of issues listed on Monday's decision day in calendar
is longer than mine, there are some similarities and I may have a
couple more self-induced, ingeniously foolish mistakes. I survived
the hiking trip with 22 year old son, but not so lucky trying to act
like a 22 year old on the wakeboard. Hard to believe a slightly
overused, sore calf can hurt so much when running.

Sorry to read you have to back off on goal race, and hope your knee
recovers from bump with biker.
