Autumn Grove

I have spent many a weekday evening and many a Saturday morning here. This is Autumn Grove, the southwest field. For some reason very few other coaches ever wanted to practice at Autumn Grove so we were always able to get practice time here.This is the site, if I recall correctly, of, "Sara, is that the absolute fastest you can run?" and numerous other memorable moments.

The ride today was another good one. Usually the second day after a breakthrough isn't as fast as the first day, and today wasn't. But it was still the second fastest day of the year. And further, today's conditions were not quite as ideal as yesterday's, so some fall off was probably inevitable. Today was warmer than yesterday, a gorgeous summer day, but a wind kicked up about half way through the ride and eventually proved just a tiny bit troublesome.

But it was a good ride and when I got home Wireless was still home after stopping by to pick up some pants and a volleyball. So that was very nice. She has some news but I won't rain on her parade, she can toot her own horn. She is a most excellent dafter.
