Italy and the former Yugoslav Countries

Very brief post this week, have to pack for RAGBRAI.

We finished off the northern part of Italy, had a quick cup of coffee in Slovenia, and then spent some time in southern Croatia (skirting the border with Bosnia Herzegovina). We came to rest in Serbia after a respectable 615 mile week.

Becky, Robin, and I completed the Moonlight Chase 4-mile race in Eldridge, IA last Saturday (results). Becky did especially well, finishing 6th in her age group (31:04). I was a little slower than I had hoped, but I managed to outkick Becky at the end (30:58). Robin had lots of fun.

Mike competed in the Life Time Fitness Tri in the Twin Cities, he won his age group, and placed 8th in the open division with a time of 2:13:28.8 (results). He had the top bike in his category, and the 2nd overall in the open division (averaged 24.4 mph). Congratulations Mike.

There will be no post next week, we will be biking across Iowa. Look for our bike jump in miles coming in 2 weeks.
