Home Tomorrow






We are steaming into Victoria, our last port of call on the inaugural CompuTrainer Alaska Cruise. Today is the second and final 20 mile time trial. The protocols are to perform the same test from Monday and gauge the difference. Phil was first up and cranked out a snappy 1:01, almost seven minutes better than his effort on Tuesday. Katie has been nursing a very sore left knee and made the decision at the halfway point to allow more healing time. A smart move. Kathy is up next attempting to best her 1:30, and then Melinda and Wendo wrap things up.

Tonight we are meeting up with CompuTrainer coach and PT, Noa in Victoria for dinner, heading back to ship at midnight to start the disembarkation process. Everything that isn't carried off needs to be in the hallway by 0030. We hit Pier 91 in Seattle tomorrow at 0700.

It has been a wild week at sea and in Alaska. We totally lucked out and got in three spectacular rides, yesterday at 65 degrees and under beautiful cobalt blue skies. Everyone has made great progress riding inside on the CT in a location on the ms Amsterdam now known as the CompuTrainer Corner. We have visited exotic ports, dined in luxury, hoisted a few glasses of expensive wine and made a number of new friends. Time has flown by. We are all stronger and richer for the efforts.

Home tomorrow.

Roughly speaking, Phil cut his TT time down by 10.3%. Well done.

He is now known as Fabulously Fast Phil. We just parted company and the Stantons are winging their way towards Disneyland.
