RACE SEASON!!!
So I got talked into racing this weekend by Westy and Bob. Was not too into it, as it was cold and somewhat rainy (not to mention I had to get up at 6:30am!!). My fitness sucks as I haven't trained as much as I'd like this season and the travel has been kicking my ass. So I let everyone know in the parking lot before the race started that I have no fitness and just want to sit in the pack. Well race starts, a break goes 10 minutes in and who goes with it....me. Thought it'd last a few minutes. It ended up lasting the whole race!!! We shed 4 or 5 guys through out and on lap 4 of 5, I flatted!!! WTF?!!?! Shitty luck I guess. Chased for 7/8 of a lap solo and got caught by the pack with 2k to go. Oh well. A guaranteed top 5 turned into DFL just like that. But, hey, it's only Mason lake. Plenty of time for more racing this year.
Rode 4 hours with some teammates yesterday in the 70' weather. Shorts and short sleeves!! YES!!!!! Today, it's rainy and cold as usual.
Off to Chicago this weekend for a trade show, so no racing. Show should be fun. Big party for my companies 25th anniversary. I t should rock.

Anthony, I am shocked at your bahavior. You need to tell your company that all that travelling is stressing you out and taking a toll on you. What would your wife think if she saw this video of you and Mr. Buddy?
