The Past Week

Ok so I know its been a week since I wrote in this thing but I have been massive busy!!

But I will start with last weekends race. It was at Evergreen High School which is a super fast course all grass with a couple of run ups. I was sick all the week comming into the race so I was feeling a little stale going in. I had a horible start, back in the 20's somewhere and just started methodically working my way through everyone. I definetly didn't feel good but I was not losing any ground while on the bike, but gaining gobs of time on the run ups. So I jsut started picking guys off and ended up with 2 laps to go riding with Eric fighting for 8th and 9th place. He got me and Ended up 9th. Top 10 I'll take it.

Last week was crazy at school, I had tests on back to back days in Statics and Multiveriable Calculus plus a bunch of homework to finish and by Wendsday I was smoked and ready for the weekend. The Statics test went super well and aced that, the Calc test not so much but the grade won't suffer too much. I'll do better next time.

As of last Friday Ris and I had been dating a year and a half. Wow that's a while. So she took me out on this really really cool dinner cruz around Lake Washington and Lake Union. It was so awsome, It was just us and a couple other people on this huge boat with awsome food and awesome views. I am so Lucky! Definetly a night to remember.

Ok now to Yesterday's race. It was at a normaly muddy Kelly Creek Farm, but it wasn't so muddy. The ground was just wet enough to feel really heavy. I had an awesome start made the lead group and settled in for a couple laps until the attacks started going off then couldn't hold on and settled into 5th and was a high as 4th at one point but I faded late and my teammate Steve had a killer last 2 laps and got pushed back to 7th with 4th-6th in sight. Bummer. It's another top 10 but dissapointing about how close top 5 was though. We'll giver another try this weekend at Stelicomme.

This weekend is also the first USGP of Cyclocross, which is the National series for Cyclocross, out in Kuntucky. Pretty bummed I am not going, I went to all the GP's last year on bad form and I am on good form this year and not going to any........ how did that workout? So I am pretty bummed this week, hopefully I can take it out locally and put in a good showing here. Thats all for now gotta go study. Late.
