mmmm....coffee
Here is the true test of trying to get this thing rolling. Two days in a row…I think they say 20 days and you’ve created a habit, good or bad. It was good to have a tasty pot of coffee going early this morning. The dogs decided it was time to get up around 5:15 and they weren’t super excited about going back to sleep after they’d been out. Surprisingly, the RMR went fine last night. Crispy had installed a new chain and it wasn’t happy with his cassette, but he threw down pretty hard anyway nearly cracking everyone on a night with minimal wind. Sarge made the race and was involved in nearly every bit of action on the road. BadMF was ever ready to lay down the heat and did just that with 2 to go. We gambled that we would get the group close enough to the break that I might be able to get them, but I only caught 2 of the 5 coming into the finish. My fatigue from the weekend didn’t bother me much last night, but it is now time to ease things off for the rest of the week. I hate missing the DMV, but it has to be done. It’s been a long season so far and I’m trying to listen to reason more than just keep on racing my favorite races. As Dr. X has so eloquently stated, the DMV is the race to gain skills because there is nowhere to hide.
Suggestion for the week: Dr. X needs to get a blog rolling.
I also spent about 20 minutes of my warmup rolling with Andrew Locke. He's got something super interesting he's working on, but I want him to talk about it. If you read this Andrew, comment away.
