Tried the hard way to Otay Lakes on the bike this morning and the terrain had the final say. Between the heat and the climbing I tapped out at twenty miles, well short of the lake. No shame in it, just a clear read on where my condition actually stands right now; I’ll build up to the full route rather than force it. The spotter ran clean on the technical side, though the day’s trading still closed down one percent, a reminder that working tools and working strategy are two different problems. Tomorrow Ace Combat 8 finally lands, and the reviews have me more excited for a video game than I’ve been in a while.
