final prep

1:15 last night just to get the legs ready for tonight. apparently, i was racing for a portion against some guy in full aero mode. well, i was warming up since it was in the first 10 minutes of my ride but he was giving it. i would pass him on the uphills (big surprise) and he would ramp it up on the downhills. it seems to me that for most, the aero position slows you down. maybe that is the point for long races where energy conservation is key?

fixed the flat on my cross bike...like always, the hole in the tube was on the tire side. hopefully it holds up tonight but i guess there is always ron's spare again.

i also took photos of the things we are going to try and sell on craig's list. i am certainly no photographer.

happy wednesday.
