Well, to recap on the race prep, it could be going better. Getting plenty of good rides in and I feel strong. I'm just not at my optimal race weight right now. I'll try to cut down on the late night "carbs"(especially on weekends), and hopefully that will help me to trim down a bit. I don't want to lose too much weight though, because I don't want to lose any power. Besides the race in Ohio, I've also got my first 24 hour mountain bike race coming up. Supposed to throw together a 4 man team with Lee, Lewis, and unknown. I'd ride it solo, but I feel deadline's coming close. Other than that, its been an interesting and fun last couple of weeks, what with my first annual participation in the Colorado Springs Bicycle Pub Crawl's kickball game and with the disappearance and subsequent reappearance of my trusty, crusty messenger bag. Well at least things are still interesting.
