Pretty Pain Prose

Went to DFL last night. Decided to go at the last minute. I was suppose to watch the kids and chill at home, but..... I brought little man with me, he was my "crew", the princess went to soccer then hung out at home while the old lady was at school, or so I thought. Anyway, after doing a two hour interval and starts cross ride, I figured what the hell it's just DFL. Famous last words. Got there 2 minutes before the start, no warm up no course preview, just riding blind! Pure DFL style. Anyway, the interval session earlier was barking at me and I kept thinking what Hernando said 85%, 85%. That was about all I could handle. It is always good to shake the bike around a little bit to make sure nothing is falling off. I dropped a chain on the first lap, the handle bars started to move around by lap 4. Oh well, now I can get it all wired and ready for CCCX this weekend hopefully. I broke out the swiss miss outfit, and I must say that I look pretty good in a dress. It is hard to take yourself serious when you are going anerobic in a dress, epecially when you have to do laps across the basketball court through the home boys game. I am not sure what they thought but it was epic SF style. T

he first few CX races is like old home week, you see everyone for the first time since last season, and seeing most of them in drag is kind of funny. Il Falconer better known as Max Throttle has the unibomber look going on and he is blowin up for sure. He looked great and killed a very large DFL field that included some serious talent. Funkmiester wes there, as was Snead, I think. The Swobo and DFL crew were out in full force, Brad was even riding a cross bike with gears! By the end I was bearly walking up most of the run ups. The legs were gone. Good times though. Maybe next week I can sneak out again. Don't tell the old lady.

The bad news was that the old lady beat me back to the house. Bummer, I had some 'splaining to do. It was worth it. Today I thought about doing the nooner and the legs were not happy, especially after running for 30 minutes with the academy in the morning. I rallied though, and managed a decent ride, made it up and over the college on the back end of the group. Not bad! Well I hope to make it to CCCX but it may not happen, depends on work. Time to put the head to bed, tomorrow is a recovery day! I get to work on the bathroom remodel that has been going on for four months. It never ends.

Oh yeah, you had to love Bush getting ripped by Ugo and having Ugo bust out the Noam book. That was classic. If every other country hates you, you may want to check and see if it isn't you that is the asshole. W seriously bugs me. That and his approval rating is up. WTF??? Who did that poll? I am waiting to see the sponsor of that one. "Brought to you by the good people at High Times magazine". Come on. 2008 can't come fast enough. Bring on the night sweats.

Later,
