quick update.
my stoner dog. gotta love it.
well.. i made it to st. louis and back in one piece. hoorah!
i arrived back in KC yesterday afternoon and had my last ride with 0% bodyfat chick, short/tall cousin, and another yet-to-be-named chick. Divorced Chick. (i feel bad naming her that but i can't come up with anything else. oh well.)
the ride was the perfect "coming full circle" ride... it was the same route i rode with 0% chick a couple years ago... back when i was very very VERY new and thought (for who knows what reason) 0% chick didn't like me. it was my first ride outside the park on "real roads" and she kept swearing the ride wasn't that tough. that, and.... "i promise, this is the last big hill...."...
mm-hmm.
she lied.
A LOT!
however unlike that first year, this year... when we got to Woodland Hill... i was prepared, and managed to make it all the way up --- ON MY BIKE!
no stopping and walking for me!!!!!
i just made my way through all... all... my gears, finally landing in the granny gear, and spun my little heart out all the way to the top.
i felt hugely victorious.
until about 3/4 of the way up when short cousin passed me on his bike like i was standing still.
dammit. i wish i were 14 again!
oh well.
it was a fun night, and the perfect last tri-training day with my best friends and favorite people.
unfortunately... with tri training out of the way... its now time to pack. AGAIN!
and i'm sure you can guess how i feel about that!

Correct use of the training leash is important, not only during training sessions, but at all times. Always having a loop over your thumb and your hand closed into a fist, prevents even the strongest dog from unexpectedly jerking the leash through your fingers and breaking free. Whether it's the hand-loop or a loop formed by marrying the leash over your thumb, the result is the same. Pulling on the leash merely causes your grip to tighten
