I'm about to fall asleep.
This weekend was anything but restful I guess. Couple: waking up at 6am walking downstairs, making a quad espresso with a spoon or two of turbinado and clamping the Adroit into the Fluid Trainer and listening to Bob Roll and Chris C tell me I just beat Vino in a sprint to win the Alp d'Huez stage after three painful over unders, with running around all over the city and to a cool cooking demo given by Martin Yan back home to see yogurt boy and then to a concert and back home only to swapping tires way too many times as the clock got close to midnight only to wake BACK up at 6am to haul ass to a MT bike race to haul ass BACK home (thanks Cronoman THANKS A TON) sit on my ass eating tons and tons of calories (Bear Naked Trail mix is good) watching #88 go round in circles to head to the Market back home dishes and then making a batch of enchiladas (one of the best as reported by those who partook in devouring it) finally to bed... felt pretty good until about 90 minutes ago...
seem to have hit a wall...
just
feeling
like that icon ErikV used last week...
maybe i bought decaf coffee by mistake this weekend at the Market... don't think i did... (based on HR and other indications it is leaded coffee - my body just decided to tell me TOOOO MUCH)...
gotta listen to it i guess...
Maybe it is the drone of the white noise from the overactive air handler that thinks i need 50 cfm in an 11'x9' office space
KOB was a freaking blast... Taking the traction pro off in place of the Leader Pro was a damn good thing.
Looking at last years results the two guys who started before me that I didn't catch rode the course faster than me then as well as I think this year. Next year... Next year. Doesn't look like there is any danger of me threatening to race in the same category as results boy tho at least for a couple years... I still was left wondering if the mantra might would be faster, might need to haul both bikes down and do a couple laps on each the same day to tell, I sort of feel that the hard tail probably is faster tho... maybe... and Yogurt boy's time (if i'm recalling it right) certainly shows that for his first MT Bike race on a borrowed 29 pound fisher 29er he will be a force to be dealt with on the dirt scene this year.
nothing like hitting the wall mid-day Monday.
ouch
heddwch

I think a hardtail was definitely a faster option on that course:
faster than usual => hardtail is good because you're pedaling hard a lot.
shorter than usual => hardtail doesn't have long enough to really beat you up
