Attack, Attack, Attack.... should be my middle name!!!

So Grattan experience #2 was tonight. It went well, with me and Baar getting away on the first lap for a photo opportunity. Then I attacked a few more times as Ben Whitehead told me I should and finally a break with me in it got away. There were 5 WM Coast riders in it along with myself, Ben Whitehead, and a mystery man. I felt good when I attacked, but soon after the days of diarreha and vomitting caught up with me. I could barely hold wheels or make pulls at the front so i just hung tough. I found that my mind is really a lot more powerful than I give myself credit for. I ended up 7th out of about 60 guys I think, so not a bad days work. I got a huge boost of confidence when Danielle showed up, Thank you so much. I had to explain to the guys how I knew her and they all thought it was weird that I could still be friends with Kristi and her friends. Why is it weird, they are a great group of people. I should have my friends come out more to watch because I always come up big when they do. I can not lie though, I wanted to drop out about 5 laps in and then when we got away I thought I would not finish at all. I am so depleted right now, but with Danielle being there and her knowing how much I ride, I could not dissappoint. I want to show the people who actually give a shit about my cycling that I can be strong and hang with some of the best in Michigan. I told the guys after the race that i was working for them at the state champs RR this weekend and they just looked at me and said screw that we are working for you. So now I must rest and put some weight on my shoulders for a good result. I can't wait it should be a bloodbath. I learned a lot though tonight, about how to suffer, and boy did I do that. If anyone would have known how bad I really felt then they would understand this. I am strong though, I can not let my work and effort in this endeavor go to waste. Finally, I am going to watch History of Violence again, because it is an awesome flick. Ok, thanks again Nelle, I consider you a truly great friend, hell even my best friends from High School have never seen me race. Time to chill buddy!!! Later!
