Uh Huh, Thats Right!

Its upon us!!! What i have worked so hard for all winter, the 6 hour days, the frozen fingers, toes, and face. The long lonely rides where no one can understand why the hell you are out riding in 25 degree weather with less than 1 inch tires on your bike. This is the race that i based my whole collegiate season around. I know I should try to do good in every race, but I am the type of rider who needs the intensity of racing to get my "race legs". So this weekend is an 82 mile Road race on Saturday, mostly flat, probably windy, and it will not end in a mass group sprint. Josh thinks it may be beneficial to get in an early break and see if I can stay away until the race breaks apart. Then if a group comes up to me sit on some wheels and recharge. Thats my plan, put the WMU Jersey out there for the local community yo see and to show them that we mean business and don't just ride for the fun of it. Sunday is a campus circuit, which will be "a race of attrition". This race does not suit me well, so all I can do is my best and do some work for Josh if need be. I think he knows I will get myself dropped if that means he can get a good result. All about sacrifice for a teammate. Josh if u need anything like a bidon (water bottle), energy gel, or just a lil hug buddy let me know. Im not gonna lie I am on edge with anticipation. I have a great evening planned with Kristi so hopefully that will keep my mind off the race for a bit. I can't over analyze anything, just ride my bike. I also get to meet her mom today, and I am not nervous for the first time in my life. I think her mom will be just as great as her, hell she raised Kristi....right? I'll let you know how that goes. Until then I bid you all adieu! That means good bye in some foreign language, look at me using words where I don't even know the origin. HAHA!! Later!
