This is the National Champion jersey that I was presented at the meeting on Monday night. Last year at cross nationals Brad won the B class, and with it came this jersey. I guess they saw it fitting to present this jersey to me. The only problem is that I really wasn't sandbagging...I really wanted to do the A race. Hopefully next year I can get a real one...I've been drinking a lot of tea to try and get rid of this cold/sore throat that I developed. I'm to the point where I can fill my Nalgene with hot water and two tea bags and not use any milk or sugar but the tea still tastes good. I guess that's pretty good, because before I used to put 4 packets of sugar in it.
I had a good ride on the cross bike, nice and easy on some of the local mountain bike trails. I need to dial in my brakes a little more before it will be set to race. I think I need to run my tires at a little higher pressure because I was bottoming out on everything today!!!!! I have these next two weeks really easy, so I'm going to concentrate on my techniques. What I need to work on are barriers. The ones that are wide open on the flats aren't too bad...but it's the ones that they place halfway up hills that really give me a hard time. My left hip was hurting today when I was walking...I hope there's nothing wrong with it.
Gilmore Girls is on in an hour, followed by Veronica Mars. I don't really care for the first show, but Veronica Mars is great. After that me and Patches have the "Roomywed Game," which we plan on winning. Wish me luck...
