Racing..

Racing tomorrow morning.. Sports Spectrum. I'm looking forward to it. Going to try to do better than last year.. and since I blew up on the run it shouldn't be too hard. We'll see what happens. I'm sure my swim is going to suck, but living out of town sort of prevents me from getting into a good work out schedule. Plus I've been getting into climbing... so that has been taking up a lot of my time. Just can't get enough.

Alright.. going to go get my race numbers put on my bike etc. Oh, and I forgot my race belt, sort of pissed about that. And I don't think I remembered to bring socks. So I might be bleeding like crazy at the end of this race, much like OVT.

the suspense is killing me! how'd you do in the race?? did you bleed a whole lot (prayin the answer is no on that one) did you have fun? what kind of cool stuff did they hand out??

Dave said...

The race didn't go exceedingly well. I'm glad I did it, but not training for three weeks really shows. The goodie bag was nice, got a really nice bag. Been using it to go to the climbing gym. Woo.

Alrighty, I'm outta here.

What other cool race stuff did you get?

Dave said...

Hmm, a nice little Nalgene, a pair of sunglasses, a hat, some flip-flops, a running shirt, some running socks, and a little water bottle to run with. I think that is it.. but the bag will definetely be nice for crits and the such. Has a nice little thing to hold one's helmet. All in all.. pleased.

i think the hot pink jersey already did that

J Williams said...

dave's street cred is invunderabable to pinkness.

Dave said...

Thank you Joey.. and just for everyone out there who has been enjoying mocking my pink jersey and glasses.. which aren't really all that pink if you ask me.. but the leader's jersey in the Giro d'Italia is pink.. so yeah.. that completely justifies it.

J Williams said...

I can only defend you so far... Blaming your pinkness on an Italian dude is pretty much as far as I go.

When are you going to buy a little scooter and start saying ciao? I bet you know some great coffees!

Dave said...

Well I'm surprised that you are so harsh on Italians Mr. Williams. I would have thought someone so into archeology would apperciate them a bit more. At least they aren't building wal-marts over ancient burial grounds. Or has the new Pompeii wal-mart opened yet?

Now is Pompeii spelled with two i's or just one?

J Williams said...

southern italians are too poor to go to wal-mart. also they are in the mafia and thus too busy selling postcards to tourists. really.

modern pompei, ancient pompeii

(also!) pomPEI means "blowjob" in italian!

Dave said...

Why did they change the spelling? Enlighten us about the past oh great Joey. Oh.. and.. are you always going out and getting you leech on?

J Williams said...

they changed it because blowjobs are better than not-blowjobs.

what... what does "leech" mean?

Dave said...

Oh, just an achewood reference. Poor Todd.

J Williams said...

i get it now, post-achewood.

I think you would enjoy a book called "The Algebraist" by Iain M. Banks.
