another brick in the foundation

saturday morning we were up early to help robin's sister move. i got the forester packed with my bike stuff and then we were off. there was a good sized crew but for some reason most didn't want to work the basement shift. unfortunately, my brother in law runs a business selling motorcycle parts down there which included dozens of boxes of parts and catalogs. i made countless trips up and down. great race warm up! we unloaded at the new place, i had a quick brat and then it was time to head to the races.

i managed to get to the john muir trails in time to register, change and warm up and that was about it. the race started and i got in a pretty good place, probably 10 spots off the lead. from there i tried to keep it steady but started to feel the move and lost 7 or so spots throughout the 24 miles of racing. i was hoping for 4 laps but only 2 guys hit that (and they are much much faster than me). all in all, it was a great day of training i guess. the best part was talking to my friends that i just don't get to see enough. back home in enough time to get ice cream right before closing time at chocolate shop on midvale. congrats to ronny boy for winning the 6 hour...i can't imagine slogging for 6 or 12 hours...those guys are crazy!

what a great saturday!

today i felt pretty tire but managed to get some stuff done. not as much as i was hoping but i'll take it.

happy sunday.
