how are the legs going to be

any guess?

probably gonna be shit - didn't have a burrito...  that was the secret for 2013..  well there were probably other secrets...  

but i think maybe i have the fueling a wee bit better than last week, def been drinking more water - coffee intake is going to be on that borderline of too much to sleep, probably a little over the line in the more coffee than not...  i'm okay with not sleeping well if i can get in under 20, although part of me is thinking that's unlikely. It has been a rough week.

That hurricane knocked out the power - not a great night sleep, food plan was set for the week leading up to today, that got tossed out the window. So winged it today.

Also picked up a set of 180s...  might need some juggling to make it work just right. need a new BB at the very least but I'm excited to make it all a bit better. I am def noticing some of the physical manifestations of the shorter crank riding it this hard. 

Get an extra couple miles in today without a bag drop. Shit - just remembered i was supposed to charge the light. Fuck. 

Did that on Tuesday with the eBike. Was supposed to plug it in when I got here, realized that about 20 min before I was going to leave. Oops. And shit forgot something else too. DAMNIT. Oh well. Hopefully a bit in consequential.

We made it through the power outage using 60# of ice. But a generator to run the fridge would have been really nice. Thinking about that now. But is it worth it? Maybe. 

Suddenly relaxed and tired. Hoping this is a okay ready to smash kind of relaxed and not a fuck it all i'm tired and not going to do work kind of tired.

Would be nice to just totally not give a fuck about this and just see what happens. I guess I can try that tonight. Just do what I can do. 

I mean there's no pressure - i'm not anywhere close to getting a participation award like I have in the past for just being there every week. AKA the only way I ever manage to do well in a series. Just be the guy who shows up. The slowest guy who makes every race is going to get more points than someone who only makes the big ones.

Mike OC cancelled the first MTB race I did. The Freetown 50. He also cancelled crosstobeerfest. Season is cancelled. I think that's the right thing to do.

I am anxious about RI being put on the naughty list, could make getting the kid to college a bit more tricky even though things are okay here in a local sense. There are more cases but, well, shit who knows.

Does anyone? 

I wonder what the hurricane did to Big River and the rest of the woods out there. Guess I'll find out this weekend if I can manage to get out in the woods.

Last week I adjusted the saddle - it was wicked nose down, we'll see how this works for the TT, maybe nose down was good for the bars, but man it sucked when I wasn't in them. Looking forward to getting the full length back in the stroke tho, mostly looking forward to not having the lingering pain. 

Okay - time to empty the bladder and get suited up in the 'i look fat' kit and be the big freak trying to go as fast as possible...

bikes - and competition - so dumb - but then MTB is still competitive - can you make it cleanly over it - but it is more micro-competitive - small things, and TT like things, not measured against others...

Damnit - i think the deodorant wore out on that lunch ride - i stink...  good thing no one will no! Social Distancing FTW!
