I may change the title, but will leave it as is for now ...

Spent the day running around crazily, trying to get everything done! Scheduled a myotherapy appointment with a new myotherapist who was very good - he worked on my neck and hip to loosen the tightness. I wasn't sure it would last until the weekend, especially as it was manic to get everything ready to leave.
After the appointment, drove to Ann Arbor and picked up my bike.
Ken was fabulous, setting up the bottle cage on the back of the P3C which was rather challenging! Although I'd not had the rear cage set for training, I was concerned that I needed it for the race (to stay hydrated). The argument against adding or using the bottle cages was the added weight to the bike. Each full 24 oz bottle weighs 2.5 lbs - if I used all cages, that would add 10 lbs to be carried up the hills in Placid. My plan was to use only one of the two at the rear, putting my spare tyre in the extra cage. More on how that worked later...
Arrived home around 4 pm, packed up the car and loaded Logan in for the drive to my sister's place in Cambridge, ON - about 3 hours away.
Virginia was fantastic - she had a wonderful order of Pad Thai takeout ready for me. It was great to finally relax & chill after the craziness of the day. Logan had a blast running around the large back yard - bombing up and down the small hill! He definitely needed to stretch his legs! He also had a bath and looks like a new puppy!
