Well it looked like everyone had a lot of fun in California for the first Norba of the year. I've read all the results and have most of the inside information except for the Expert 19-24 XC and the JuniorX ST. What I do know is that the JuniorX XC was pretty lame. 11 kids started the race. My best finish last year was 14th, and this year they aren't even getting 14 kids that enter the race. Sounds pretty lame if you ask me. I'm glad that I raced with a lot of competition, because I think that will make me stronger in the end.
Last night me, Jeremy, and Cole went and saw Silent Hill. It was a pretty good movie, but it was also pretty messed up. There were some deaths in that movie that made me think to myself, "Oh my God, I can't believe that just happened." In this one part, this thing (yes, that's the only way I can describe him) grabs this woman by the chest, twists, rips her skin off her body, and then throws it at some people. And, if you think that's messed up then there is even a more messed up part. At the end of the movie, this chick is all covered in barbed wire, and she is making her barbed wire go out and kill people. Well anyways, the barbed wire grabs this woman and goes straight up her body, ripping her in half. I wouldn't say that the movie was so much scary, as it was just intense. Now I really want to play the video games so I can understand a little more of the plot.
While I've been doing homework throughout the day, I just finished watching A Time to Kill, which is probably one of my favorite movies. Yesterday, I also watched Rocky IV, which is probably one of the sweetest movies I've ever seen. It's so inspirational. There's this one part where the huge Russian guy is training with all this high tech. stuff, and he's doping. Meanwhile, Rocky is running up snow capped mountains and working his butt off, doing virtually the same stuff as the Russian guy (minus the doping) except in the most ghetto way possible. I just talked to my Madre as told her that for my birthday I wanted the Rocky collection on DVD. I think I'm going to make them my new pre-race movie to get me pumped up. I also just downloaded the song so that I can get pumped up in the same way without having to watch the movie.
This week I took really easy, so hopefully I will be completely recovered to start some intense training this week. Tuesday I'm going to do some VO2 intervals, followed by a good portion of time in Zone 4 at my lactate threshold. I'm going to go for an easy ride on Wednesday, for pretty much as long as time permits. Tuesday I'll get home, and plan on doing some off-road time trialing, as described in my training Bible. Then it'll be easy days on Friday and Saturday before my first mountain bike race of the year, and as a Semi-Pro, on Sunday. I have a final on Tuesday and Wednesday, and my calculus test on teusday shouldn't be too difficult. After all, you can't do one thing without knowing how to do the thing before it. There's no way to know how to integrate functions, without first being able to differentiate them. It's funny, because one of the songs from Tony Hawk's Underground is called King Kong, and one of the lines is, "Don't integrate, differentiate." Now I know exactly what that means.
Well, I've got an essay and a take home test to finish up, and Jeremy should be back anytime with my quesadilla, so I guess I've got to get going. I can't believe how much I just typed. I wonder how Todd's arm is doing...
