AM - Long Run on TM - 18 miles - 2:21:30.  Ate gels nad drained whole hwater bottle.  3 gels was a mistake.  Not quite there on enrgy level this morning, so usually, wouldn't eat those nasty things... TM reset twice.  New found music accompaniment while TM running is a welcome change.

Watched most of Djokavich 5 set match in Australia.

AM run over to Tim's house to hitch a ride to Brown Co. Park.  Got to ride in his fully electric Tesla. Wow! On board nav and partially autonomous steering. 0-60 in a very smooth 4 sec., auto breaking, proximity alerts, etc. Amazing.

10 miles trails with some good climbing in the park. 1:24:55.

Ride back to Tim's, and jogged home. Approaching 45 degrees and sunny. Good to see the sun again.
