nah its not a word - but i'm FRIED... talk about a day... here's to hoping i can make it to the BLVD without melting...

first its home to hitch the trailer up... then back over the spine of the hill to day care - back over the spine to home, change, wait around for backup/relief to arrive... then fingers crossed head out for a much needed spin... No way in hell can i subject these powerless bags of flesh (legs) to a TT tonight... no way... sure, its 82 degrees out... little to no wind... conditions should be perfect for setting a new PR... conditions all except for the engine... the Italian tune up coming back up College was a nice help and not a bad measure, but being on the phone for three solid hours doesn't seem to help the hydration much... and yeah... i'm bringing bottles on the ride this time... as in plural... downside... i STUPIDLY put the spinaci's on yesterday thinking i'd do the TT (the whole weekend i was hoping the rain and foul weather potentially forcasted for today wouldn't materialize)... weather's perfect, 'aero bars' are installed... but... well ya know the rest of the story...

old slow guy with kids = slow ass mo-fo...

at least my daughter and I had a nice talk about going all over new england watching me race (or try to)... see seemed reasonably excited even... so i've got that jem tucked in my pocket as motivation... which makes not getting out hurt that much more...

car's gettin dropped off tomorrow... and... i got a call... a reprieve... sortof... it also takes the thunder out of my beefing about the weather... and the back and forth to daycare thing... more leisurely attempt at the BLVD gang meet up...

They've started drilling again (for those vicariously waiting for the construction report). Still plastic over the windows so i can't see outside... hopefully that'll all end soon...

ride safe
