sore and achy
being a little sore following the first cross practice of the year is to be expected. but i am feeling really sore - the harsh kind. and my biceps are really sore which makes me think two things:
1) i can't remember the last time my biceps were sore
2) you use your biceps for a lot of arm actions
i'm soft and i need to get over it in time for cross. i think it has a lot to do with my body's reaction to ragweed but still, a little disheartening after a very good spring/summer of riding.
usgp moved (again) the registration to monday. i think that is the 3rd or 4th time they have moved. something to do with getting feedback/approval from the uci for something. they put on a great event so i'm sure it'll work out but it does appear disorganized. it would be helpful if they updated the race/series website to explain and/or notify of the delays. whatever i guess.
i'm not doing fat tire this year and that is my final answer. i'll miss it but that ends up being a pretty taxing weekend and with all the cross racing i want to do this year it'll be nice to have a free weekend in mid september to be with my family.
this weekend is the hirsch wedding and boy am i looking forward to it. a lot of the old gang is going to be there which made robin and i look back at some old photos last night. it's weird how fast time goes - it doesn't seem all that long ago that i was meeting chris, scott and ben for the first time at the wausau wors race. but thinking about it, that was in 2002! those were some really fun years and boy did we have some parties.
anyway, bike commute today. i'd like to sneak out for a road ride tomorrow morning and (depending on the damage incurred) a leisurely road ride on sunday starting at big cedar lake. should be a goodie!
happy friday.
