mud is hard on the old...

man, i'm more tired after 30 minutes in the mud than i was after the 9-mile adventure. i've got a hip giving me trouble from the good old hike a bike and general soreness abounds. what does a smart person do when already sore from something he does often? that's right, go play tennis with his lovely wife. that girl can rip the ball and she makes me feel old out there on the court. but it was fun and the night was beautiful.

this weekend has me heading to eau claire to golf in the hilltop classic...a scramble format that will (undoubtedly) involve a lot of mgd. or high life. or miller lite. just so it is macro brew and from milwaukee i guess is all i'm saying. and that is a great thing...until sunday that is.

anyway, this week quickly became a recovery week. besides wednesday and tonight i may not ride again until monday. oh well...i'm no pro. and i'm probably not racing again until late september. that is when cross starts...oh yea, i still need a cross bike.

happy friday.
