Dutch Licorice

Dutch licorice, the salty kind, is the candy of the day. Takes a while for this hard candy to dissolve. A good treat to keep you “nose breathing” for your endurance ride, an intensity governor of sorts and a reminder of my northern European roots.

Tuesday’s ride was great! It stopped raining 2 minutes before the ride and was no rain the entire ride. It started to rain 20 minutes after I was done with the ride. I ran into my friends Stacy Wingard and JoAnn Sittig on the Sammamish trail. They were doing a taper run as they are planning on knocking out the Rock and Roll Arizona Marathon this coming weekend. Go get’em ladies!
