The Usual
First of all, congratulations to Colt for winning a national championship in the marathon on Thursday. I was on the edge the entire time reading his website. All I know is that the race was 120 km, and my longest ride this year has been 60 miles, which is about 100 km, and it was on a road bike. I couldn't image racing that long on a mountain bike, unless of course it was on a straight up lame course.
Anyways, my predictions were way off, I don't think I got a single one right. The most surprising of them all, Jermiah Bishop finsihing second in the ST. I didn't think he knew how to race a short track, but oh well. I can't believe T O double D went down in the XC after he had dropped JHK.
Well, I signed up for the Working Man's Stage Race yesterday, and it starts tomorrow. Time trial tomorrow, circuit race Wednesday, and a points race on Thursday. I don't really know how everything is going to work, but I think I might go for the KOM if I feel good. I figure I'm pretty fast on my mountain bike, so I should be able to give a bunch of old cat. 4 roadies a run for their money. On my ride yesterday I rode by this guy who was completely covered in sweat. I got to a big climb and had to keep my HR in zone 2, so at the top of the climb the guy caught up to me and we started chatting and he was pretty whipped. Anyways, turns out he's a cat. 4 roadie and I was about a million times faster than him. Hopefully he's not the kind that get dropped really quick. I've got a big day of golf ahead of me, maybe 36 holes. The other day John and I played a 2-man scramble in 1 hour 45 minutes for 18 holes...
