So tonight was the good ole Wednesday night ride. But first off Kristi came back from home and i got to see her. I am happy and content with everything about her and I am not just saying that to make anyone happy. Then I went home and got my Ksyrium wheels ready for the ride, and I did not know how hard it would be, but I would soon realize just how difficult it is at the top. So i got out at 4 PM and rode easy for 2 hours before the ride. Then the ride started and Josh, Jeff, Jay and I were on the front driving the pace for the first few sprints, it really blows when 2 guys sit up in front of you when u want to contest a sprint, arghh. but the best and worst was yet to come. At the third sprint Jeff drove it hard and Josh and I went for the sprint.... We had a gap at the sprint point so i looked at Josh and told him we should keep drilling it, all he did was look at me and it was on. Soon after Jeff bridged up to us and it was full on from there, we did very good work together, but i was hurting and can not pull like those two, but I did my best. When we went there was still about 25 miles of solid hard riding, the hardest part of the ride too with the climbs coming up. I did all I could to stay with them on the climbs and suffered more than i ever have. With about 7 miles to go jeff cramped up and we decided together to spin in, we had such a big lead it did not even matter. We came up the last climb and i couldnt even pedal anynmore, but Josh and Jeff waited and they looked at me and the hit me with a bombshell. "You are one of the big boys now so you can take this" and with that they let me "win" the ride. Those guys are great and I consider both of them very close friends. you don't find friends like these guys and i am very happy i have. I almost passed out and thats when I became delerious, cold, and started to shiver and bonk. Then i got home and called kristi right away and I dont remember what i said at all. All i know is that it was selfish and uncalled for. She has given me everything to look forward too and I just crapped on it. At least i feel like I did, and it is not a good feeling. She made me feel better and i can say that without a doubt I love her more than ever. So now i am just waiting for her to get back from the movie so i can sleep with her tonite. I am stupid and inconsiderate and i apologize for that. Ok, now I have to try to recover, big race this weekend. It is gonna be easy for the rest of the week. I am off to take an ice bath!!! Kristi I am sorry for being unhappy with who i am, but you make me happier than anything in the world!!! Later!
