Yeah, 23.5 mph average....that was the "failure" speed of the day. Today was the first weekly "training" crit up in Lehigh. If you've read the book Ten Points you know a little about this event. To put it short it's a weekly training crit that on an given Thursday has 5-6 pro racers, 12-18 ex pros and even a National champ or two thrown in here and there just to piss me off......then there's the other 40-50 fat, out of shape want to be racers that just want to hold on for dear life......that's where I come in.
Long story short I lasted 17 laps, 17 F*CKING LAPS (each lap being a mile) of the 25 mile race. I did out lasted half the field (75 riders started) but that's all I had. Even thou I only had the goal of sitting in the whole race.......mission failed.
Pist, annoyed, disappointed, pist and more pist.....that's where I sit typing this. I knew I was gonna get my ass handed to me.....but I thought I finish the f*cking race.
Time to stop the fucking around......racing season started three hours ago....and I was not ready!

Travis,
Yup racing season started 3 hours ago and here I sit eating a bag of Act II extra butter popcorn, some twizzlers and watching "We Are Marshall"
Guess I need to get my ass in gear too!

I think I would have been better if I tried that lastnight....but no, I had to go out and have Robbie L try to kill me.
And I think in part he did...
Yeah he put a hurting on me on Tuesday night. I was picking his brain for some cornering pointers - which I hope really helps, I seem to have picked up some speed in the corners.

Great angle of you in the above shot. The colour combo take ten pounds off.
I think the glasses help a little too........they seam to slim me down a little.
That has got to be one of the most disturbing photos ever...probably because I used to resemble it.
I have dreams of joining that crit up in Lehigh, but I think I'd get shot off the back faster than a booger flicked off a finger.
