FURTHER PROOF THAT ITS NOT ME. AND SEVEN OTHER EXCUSES.

I came into this season in the best shape I’ve ever been. Then, somewhere along the way, that fitness disappeared. Call it life, call it crap, but my season has sucked. So, I was apprehensive about lining up for yesterday’s State Championship. I waited until the last minute to reg. and therefore was lined up in the back, where I essentially stayed until the end, when Taylor and I were two-against-one coming thru the sand pit. I beat everyone thru, remounted and found my pedal-but could not clip in. The guy beat both taylor and I to the line for an embarressing finish.

The course was sweet. Fast, just technical enough, and very interesting. Local HUP united and Curt Goodrich Factory Team have put together a fantastic race and I’m so glad I raced.

Today, I’m going back for more…but instead of the cat3′s, I’m racing the SS open. Again, I’m starting in the back. My goal here is to not get lapped. That will prove very difficult knowing fasties like Ezra and “Ghost” are also lining up.

Today, I’ll take the beer hand-up and coast a little into the off season.

Tomorrow, I’ll start the basement regiment for next spring.

ok.. probably not tomorrow..
