eating lunch late

ALWAYS, always, never fails to make the day feel all fahked up. The first of the day usually isn't bad because i'm pretty solidly occupied. Then i get done with that phase and have to catch up on the stuff that i didn't get done while doing that. Then i realize it is almost 2pm and think, damn i gotta eat something. Then i finish eating while still working to catch up and realize i am not living up to the lyrics of CTodd's song he wrote. Oh man.

Now i've got a crazy strong desire for a siesta.

I haven't heard a first person report of the minuteman cx race from last night but the big guns seemed to have turned out. If ya got a report somewhere lemme know. Maybe i can figure out how to get there one of these days. Props to Curtis kicking ass and for once again confounding the people trying to spell his last night right! (update - rumor has it that Mark's air pressure was way to high for the bumpy grass course)

Came across a nice tire review article. Best example of how to write a kick ass review in a while. And i'll add, i think i got ripped off. My tri cross II tires didn't come with Shredoffum TM and Wunride TM technology.

Speaking of tires. I dunno if i wrote about it or not. But those with nothing better to do might remember i mentioned riding with someone who had a dramatically lighter bike than i did. Well, one of the most curious and frustrating things was when i was drafting and my friend on the wicked awesome superlight bike would stop pedaling... usually it would happen when i was coasting in the draft... it would be like he put the brakes on. Rolling inertia. These sumbitch tires are amazing flywheels. Takes wicked amount of work to get em rolling but man once rolling... pretty nice. Although with a narrower profile and a slick tread the phenomenon would be even more pronounced.

Anyway, i guess i need to figure out how to work in a few motor pacing sessions to balance the running and cross drills. But honestly, if all the races here were like the Belgium national championships last year, i couldn't get better training than just lugging the loaded trailer around!

Gonna close with a link the The Bike Snob's entry for today... took me a while but i've finally warmed up to the stuff. I guess i just kept hitting it on the boring post days.

peace,
git out and ride
