23 weeks until nationals on the track.  finished out the week with 105 miles on the bike.  that's a little less than what i was planning on, but that's cause the trip to dc just became a little more than i bargained for.  no worries, though - all is well.

 

trip to dc was to support a thursday brief on a project that i'm working on.  i wasn't giving the brief - just needed to be on hand to answer the hard questions if any were raised.  well, questions came fast and furious and the overall program manager just said "enough - we don't have time to talk about this right now - you need to come back and brief me separately."  unbelievable.  so i scheduled to brief the pm the next day - friday.  of course, the guy who was i was there to "support" was flying out on friday morning and wouldn't change his flight.  no problem - i just made up a new brief over night and gave it solo on friday.  it was scheduled to be a 20 minute q&a but turned into me standing up in front of a bloodthirsty room answering questions for an hour and 15 minutes.  that was awesome.  i came out ok though, and seemed to get all the major points across - managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as they say.  just kidding.

 

anyway, that was pretty much it.  hung out with the dc clan and flew back to sd early saturday morning.  just missed my big bro in the dallas airport by a couple hours.  i was flying dca-dfw-san.  jason was flying sat-dfw-fra.  oh well, next time.
