So my comp suck and so does rain!!!

I have been having problems with my internet connection so that is why I have not updated lately!! Well in 2 days haha!!! So nothing really new other than my knee feels much better as of the past few days. Earlier tonight I had my first Grattan experience, and it was wet and oil slicked. This does not go well with Carbon rims. I was sliding my rear tire around nearly every little turn. This caused me to be hesitant and lose positions very easily. I did manage to attack for the first 8 laps or so..... every lap through i made an effort. I went there to do what I had planned and get a good workout in. These races go by so fast now, focus is definitely at an all time high. Also, my morale is at an all time high. I am strong but not smart, I just love making others hurt as well as myself. It did not help that The Priority boys had Richard England, Brent Bookwalter, and Brian Sheedy there. Rich is the Australian national criterium champion. That says enough if you know anything about cycling. When he attacked once he just drove like a damn motorcycle away from the group. It really sucks that I had the wrong equiptment today though because I had good legs, but when you do not want to crash in a training race, you do not risk anything..... So then I rode back to Dave's without getting lost and not knowing the way back, I got lucky. Other than that I am working tomorrow and Friday then a weekend full of races. I also met Dan Dubes today who just happens to be Danielle Hockstra's uncle....small world I guess. Anyways I also got to stop at the infamous gas station that Kristi and I rode to on Easter. The sad part is I never remember directions to get to anyones house unless I have been there multiple times, but I saw Egypt Valley road and I was going to stop in and say hi to her mom and dad, but I didn't know if that would go over well with them. I was happy though with putting the hammer down for a bit today..... it is truly what i was meant to be doing. Later all!!!
