Having fun in Pleasanton

Did you have fun? One of my favorite questions post race is, “well, did you have fun?”.  I never know how to interpret it.  If I didn’t have fun, then I am slightly offended, maybe even a little defensive.  Fun is relative.  Fun is hard to find when going 150% of your threshold chasing others around in circles on a blistering day where you would rather be at the beach.  Not that I know anything about this.  Fun is sometimes found in the sweat and pain, yet sometimes it just...
