getting UCI points and I didnt take myself/cross seriously enough to have my spare
bike / wheels/ person in the pit. Whatever, its fun chasing for 7 laps right? It was fun and nice to have so many people cheer me on as I was 2 minutes behind the pack on the first lap, and honestly if they werent there I would have just ridden to the car and dropped out of my 2nd bike race ever (first being the crit at green mountain, my first cat 3 race and I hit a pothole, sprinted to recover and my legs just locked up.)Hebe, Gunnar, Ruggs, and Denny all made me laugh and kept my time trial rolling.. ... Oh well. It took like 3 laps to realize Gunnar was telling me to "DO IT FOR DANNY!!!" which I realized was the Chew.
I met tons of rad people this weekend. The team coppi super nice guys rode the course saturday and put us up for a night. Ken had this:
which I can say is the first nice "thing" I have wanted aside from bike stuff in probably a decade. SWEET.
The race was followed by homemade pierogies and bread at Peter of "crosstalk" fame's house. It was a sweet dinner. After talking about how I usually dont sleep in cars, I crashed for the last 2 hours of the trip while mayhew jammed to the jurassic 5.

Awesome performance this weekend despite having some bogus luck. You showed a lot of heart by killing it out there all by yourself in your own private TT!
Yea, but I think it took even more courage to place your fate in the hands of Mayhew at the wheel. I told you the only way to survive it was to sleep!

OH SNAP! And here I was about to send you a brand new operation Iraqi freedom t-shirt Chris. I may have to think about it now.
