Me racing (LMAO) at CX Nats

yeah... pics... slow load fo dial up mo fo tho


Hey - at least my numbers got all pinned on pro like. I can hold my head up high knowing that only a handful of people in my race had numbers pinned on so perfectly. THANKS CHRISTINEPEANUT!!!


ya know... i think i could just barely make out where the front line was. I glanced back only once to see... YUP... i'm pretty much the last one here... what an ominous start... at least my ass looks good...




dig geoff - dig your hole cause ya all alone...



yeah... at least i look fast, in the picture... sort of...

These are all from friday... the day i put a stamp on what i need to do to prep for the race... or what not to do...

Don't break your wheel and crack the bars before a big race and make due with sub-par parts that create an ill-fitting bike. Don't go on no sleep for the week leading up to the race. Don't race on tires that you haven't before. Don't think that a 2pm start has the same prep as a 9 or 10am start. Don't start in the middle of the staging line, pick one side or the other, preferably the outside of the turn line, it is impossible to move up in a pack if you are getting bogged down in the middle.

oh and:

so slow that hula girl didn't notice me on the run up... yes - there was no one around me... go figure...

and the best... post race

Really? As slow as i look right now?

Yeah - it does look like i could have used 24 hours of sleep or so BEFORE the race...


well a few hundred yards later i was drinkin some Belgian ale courtesy of Timmie, Cronoman and Graybeard... i dunno if i looked any better after the Ale, but i felt better...
