Shedd Park - My Side of the Story.

I feel it is only fair I defend myself after reading Colin’s outlandish claims regarding our Shedd Park Showdown on his BLOG.

I didn’t sleep Saturday night, at all. I had a sore throat. My dog got run over by a car the morning of the race. My BB30 sealed bearings were seized up. I wanted Carl Ring to have the opportunity to use his “clever” heckles. My right shoe was a little tight. I forgot to inflate my tires before the race. I didn’t get to warm up. I had no derailleur on my bike. I tore my groin running to registration. I didn’t care. I had diarrhea. My skinsuit was too tight. My hands were cold. I was hungry. I forgot to eat dinner. I’m allergic to everything, and had a reaction to it. I felt bad for Colin. I wanted my teammates to get the glory for once. I forgot to pedal. My handlebar tape didn’t feel tight enough. I had a little tuft of hair getting in my eyes.

So, take it for what it is, but I don’t really think anyone would have raced well under these conditions.
