stuff

I did another cyclocross race this past Sunday. I don't know why, since I'm not too fond of the race. Jake called me to tell me it was starting half an hour late, which I guess was good cause it would give me more time to chill and get ready. CX racing is quite addictive. It hurts so bad, but in a strangely rewarding kind of way. They say the off-season is a time for recovery, but so far it has been nothing but run-n-gun since Oct. 7. Fell off my bike a couple of times somewhere in there. It's as if we get to have a "do over" in mountain biking, and it's even affecting the 26 inch mountain bikes. Riding up the hill out of town I kept the watts above 600. I think the climb lasted around 2 minutes. I needed a pair of sungalsses. Rob needed to see the furry skin of another man. I'm not much of runner but feel this is a good excuse to get me out running before the bike training starts for next year. china is still threatening to invade militarily if taiwan announces independence. i live in constant fear of earthquakes because I know my 12 story building is not up to code. i've been trying to wean myself from the medication the doctors had been giving me. i was fairly certain that the pain would not be so great that a tough guy like me couldn't suffer through without help. Got one hell of a workout in. I really hope they do these races again next season. Had a great time hangin’ out with all of the roadies. The fields were very impressive with several super fast guys from around the midwest in attendance. Our guys held their own and we are off to a fantastic start to the 2006 cross season. I love racing as much as the next guy but my body is starting to wear down a bit. I am looking forward to the end of racing and the start of riding :) I did get a photo of a young doe just milling around underneath my stand, these animals truly are beautiful:).....oh and good to eat!
