Visiting the SoCal
I have been enjoying training in the cool but comfortable weather of Southern California for the past three days. My headquarters has been the pleasant Best Western Encinitas.
I love visiting here. One reason why? Outdoor sports. Here are my top five reasons confirming that when you are in San Diego/Encinitas you are in one of the the fitness epicenters of the USA.
1) You can't go within 5 miles of the beach without seeing at least 20 runners, 20 bikers, and 10 surfers. Any time of the day. Any day of the week.
2) 7 Eleven sells hammer gels.
3) Every 10 minutes the radio plays a 30 second advertisement encouraging listeners to sign up for their first marathon or triathlon via Team in Training.
4) About one in five BMWs has a bike rack. In Raleigh its about 1 in 100.
5) 12 people showed up for their weekly 6AM speed golf round that started in the dark and 45 degrees.
After one more big fitness day I jump the red eye today for the trip home.

Hammer Gels at 7-11's? Wow.
Don't leave without delving into a delicious double double with grilled onions from In-n-out burger. Oh sweet SOCAL home how I miss thee!
