First Blog

Well, here is goes . . . . My first Blog. I am not even sure what I am attempting to accomplish with this daily blog, but we will see how it goes . . .

Today is Monday. Monday's always hurt after a weekend of racing. This weekend was not as tough as others, as I only raced one day. But, I still seem to be dragging. 4 cups of Java later I am still tired and even more dehydrated than this morning.

We went to the Yarmouth Clam Festival Race yesterday . . .the general idea was lots of prime money and a fast 3 mile circuit with a big ring power climb. All the local heavy hitters showed up except Garnaeu. . The pace was aggressive but not ballistic. I was surviving and almost feeling good. Chris and I were surfing the front trying to stay out of the wind, but still mainting out positions in the top 1/3 of the field. Things were looking good.

Then all hell broke loose on the 2nd to last lap. On the descent, our field collided with a car. Guys and bikes were flying everywhere, blood, screaming, the whole nine. I ended up crashing and landing on top of someone. I had no real bodily damage to speak of but had sustained and a ruined rear wheel. That's bike racing.

Going for an easy spon tonight and packing to leave for WMSR tomorrow. Hopefully I will have a few good results.

that's all for now, thanks for reading.
