Saturday the 17th started out great. We met our Tri group in Columbia Heights and all rode to Rock Creek Park where we did some rolling hills and then some bike hill repeats where we just rode up and down the same hill several times. Good practice working our gears and knowing how to get up the steep hills. Great workout then a bunch of us had breakfast at Panera after. We had taken the Metro there but rode home. Saw beautiful places like this:
Got home, showered, then headed to Nats Stadium where we were giving blood. As usual my iron was too low so I couldn't give but Tom did. We got free tickets to an upcoming game, t-shirts and a tour of the stadium.

The visiting team's locker room. Apparently they fedex everything in the middle of the night so uniforms and such will be waiting for the team when they arrive.
The dug out
Our guide (who has worked there as an usher since it opened) explained that the players don't sit on the bench in the dugout. They sit on the top of the bench thus grinding their cleats into the bench itself. It needs to be replaced every year.
