monsoon
so, grafton is preemptively canceled. it's a nice park so i guess it is understandable considering we are supposed to get 2 inches of rain. i wonder if dane county will allow furthercross on sunday? my guess is yes.
i spent most of the day dreading cx practice for some reason but once i got there i enjoyed it. i was riding poorly (missing corners, tipping over in the sand) but somehow still managed to have fun. i heart cx! between the ride to work, ride home, ride to/at/from badger prairie, i manged a 2.5 hour day with some intensity. my legs were feeling it this morning on my ride in. i'm looking forward to a planned off day tomorrow (and taking it easy on the ride home tonight).
well, this lance armstrong thing has really hit the fan. i spent a fair amount of energy defending him/holding out hope that he could have done everything clean - i was dead wrong. for some reason i'm very intrigued with his continued defiance. i guess the threat of perjury will make you stick to your story regardless of the evidence.
as for the guys that ratted him out - how is possible that every single one of them discontinued doping in 2006? it's not. they continued to do what worked which is evidenced by results (levi leipheimer is a prime example). they are all a bunch of crooks and the only way they could be helping to improve doping in the sport would be to testify and not accept the plea deal. a 6 month suspension beginning september 1st (in my mind) makes the whole thing a mockery. they should be banned for 2 years like everyone else. they have made their millions of dollars, now just go away.
happy thursday.
