Managed to roll out of bed this morning in time to join the Truckee Donner Masters Swim Squad – at 6:45am… Mounting my bike to get there signaled the end of the euphoric post race feelings. Body loosened a bit after though, and managed a long run in the evening with Gia.

Body is still fragile though, partly from the race and partly from the drive home which ended at 4am. And partly because of trying to get rid of Jack in the Box – the only fast food hang open at 12:30pm in Bishops on the 395. There wasnt much food to be had in Death Valley before that…
Got some great media back home:
(20 May 2008 – Die Beeld Sport – Heading: “Dan can become best in world”)
(20 May 2008 – Die Burger – Heading: “Stellenbosch boys ‘chief boss’ in USA”)
Also got some new photo’s from the weekend:

Apparently Emma has even rigged some local media in Sierra Sun tomorrow… The Truckee paper. I’ll keep you posted.
