Bike race..

Had a bike race on sunday. It hurt, a lot. Was doing pretty good for the first lap of 23 miles... and then about 7 miles into the next lap.. PSSHHT.. bike tire goes flat. Didn't have any tubes on me (stupid stupid stupid) and I hadn't given my extra set of wheels to the wheel truck since I couldn't find it before the race (stupid stupid stupid..) so I got to ride the rest of a race in the back of a pick-up.. yeah.. it was fun. Got burned all to hell though.. but first bike race.. I'm pleased. Marked a few breakaways... our team controlled the pack the entire race.. and one of our guys one, and another got third. I never would have been able to win the race.. but I'd have liked to have done more for the team.

Anyways, WoW has me.. Damn you Sean. Also, Joey.. I'm going to be in Tucson the first weekend of June if you want to get together or anything. Already got my tickets and all that jazz. WOOT!

Work is work... luckily I'm a master of killing time since that is basically what I do now.

Brother had another kid... cute little bugger.. takes after his unlce if you ask me. :)

Did a brick work-out (bike-run) today with some of the guys at the shop.. holy crap can they move. I felt I did pretty good.. the run I had was good too.. didn't have my TT bike out there.. but nearly kept up with them on the ol' Roubaix... I'm currently having mixed feelings about it... but perhaps it was just anger from the flat tire.. (stupid stupid stupid..)

Alright, bed time..

Later

I'd love to get together in June, but I'll be in Arkansas then... We should do something in late May.

"the ol' Roubaix". Ha! That bike has had it's share of problems, hasn't it? What with funky wheels, defective seatposts, and collisions with large mammals and all...

I can't afford a tri bike so my Roubaix will have to do double duty this summer.

that would totally rock pshawn... let us plan on doing something fun and enjoyable over easter weekend. Activities could include, but are not limited to, hiking, climbing, biking, running, push little kids down and taking their Easter candy, eating cadbury eggs till we puke... any of the above. Let me know..

don't forget about the many uses for peeps. (you could throw them at said children. or in dave's case, throw them at the kids while they're still on the ground crying after getting pushed).
