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.

Not Much to Report.

Two things:

1. I rode my bike for almost four hours on Saturday. I think this was the longest ride I’ve done since the Ride on Washington. Yeah, that’s a link to my own blog. Meh. I don’t even know when that ride was, but I remember being cold and my knee hurting.

2. My saddle was pointing up a little on Saturday. But I don’t even care anymore. What difference does it make, you know? Either way, we have some problems here.

3. The CrossResults Race Predictor is playing games with my mind.

I really appreciate this, Colin Reuter, but it’s probably not true. There is a glitch in your matrix, dawwwwwwg.

To be honest, I’m just glad I made it into the Gloucester Races, considering they are 10 miles from my house. Thanks to a parent of a new teammate (moron this later), I got an email to my iPhone 3G at 2:01 ET that 91 of 125 slots were filled since the 12:00PM registration opening.

That’s ridiculous. ly good for the sport.

Until I have nothing else to write…keep the meddle to the petal. No idea.


If I were this donkey, I might be asking, “I’m the jackass?”
