Skinny #1 Racing

So how awesome is it that I'm training for what was going to be my biggest race of the year, and I end up not going to it? I started building for this race 2 months ago, and now all that work has gone for nothing. It's super cool when your coach talks to you at the beginning of the year and talks about nationals and how you'll be a great help to the team, but doesn't choose you to be on the team. Instead we have a fat senior who can't climb a hill, a kid who can't finish a race if his life depended on it, a kid who uses up all the Gu 20 leaving me with none (who also can't race a short track), and another kid who would rather beat his own teammates than try to catch the group in front of him. Oh, how I love collegiate cycling. So pretty much I've dropped $100+ dollars each weekend to race, $200 on dues, and 2 months of training for absolutely nothing.

Thus begins two weeks off the bike, so I can try to recover and have a half way decent cross season. I went running for a half hour today, and man am I tired. I think the only thing I can do now is drink some gatorade, elevate my feet ,stretch, and study for a test that I have tomorrow.
