It was a beautiful weekend in Catalina, aside from the brutal heat.  I arrived on Friday and stayed at the Hotel Catalina.   Beautiful little hotel (the court yard) -

My time was 7 hours (ish) - a lot of walking some steep climbs and this was much tougher than counting coup or any other endurance ride I have ever ridden.

Overall, I am happy with my results.   I just need to get stronger!

I also need to get in to see Dr. Berenson for blood work.  I know I  am just wanting to pretend March never happened.
