Rookie Mistakes

I made two rookie mistakes yesterday. I woke up early to get a short ride in on the trainer before heading over to the pool to do stroke work with an athlete and then coach the Lincoln-Sudbury High School team and then swim myself. So as I was taking the bike off the trainer and moving it to pack it I got a nice big rookie mark on my right shin (a rookie mark is when you hit your leg on the chain or chainring and get a nice greasy line on your leg). So that was rookie mistake #1 but rookie mistake #2 was bigger. I was flying to Orlando at 8:30pm and was all ready to go and packed by 5pm, so Alicia and I decided to head to the airport early in hopes I might get on the 7:30pm flight. We had an uneventful drive except for one old lady who was going 20 in a 35 and as we pulled into terminal C at Logan I said "Oh no, I forgot my bag." Yeah so I forgot my bag which had my wallet, computer and books in it at my house. In all of my traveling I have never left a bag behind so this was a first, the good thing was that is was 6:25pm and my flight didn't leave for 2 hours. We quickly called my dad, had him pick it up, meet us about 10 minutes from our house and drive back in. I finally checked my bike box in at 7:35pm.
After that I had no problems and am in Florida right now staying with the Bonnet-Eymards. I ran on 5 mile road this morning and got in a nice easy swim at the NTC and will be heading out for an hour and a half bike ride. And to cap the day off I am going to go in with Marc, Amy, Tristan and Liam to check out the Light Spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
