I'm a lazy bag of poo. I apologize. I said that I would have a race report up soon the Sunday before the Sunday before last. I guess that makes me a lying lazy bag of poo. I'm more of a big picture guy any way, I don't tend to muck around with the details too much. Unfortunately this leads to problems every now and again.
For example:
Big Picture Idea (BPI): Race my bike
Slight Detail Forgotten (SDF): Don't crash
BPI:Lose weight for impending climbing races
SDF:Six LARGE cookies today 'aint going to help
BPI:Going to the Dentist sucks
SDF:Brush your teeth moron, it'll suck less (eat less cookies too)
BPI:Having a car sure would make it easier to get to races
SDF:Maybe I should think about getting a drivers license first
BPI:My tummy hurts
SDF:Again with the six cookies...I'm retarded
BPI:Write fun race reports so my friends can follow how I'm doing
SDF:Actually write them
So in short, I should probably mention the in addition to being a lazy lying bag of poo, I'm an idiot as well.
Three Sundays ago was the Market Street road race. It was out in the podunks and my teammate Wes and I got pretty lost but managed to find it eventually. We showed up, raced and I got sixth.
Not much of a race report I will admit, but it's been long enough that I don't particularly remember or care to transcribe the details. It was my 5th road race of the season and my first one outside the top three. That was coming though, next I should look forward to my first finish outside the top ten followed by my first DNF.
I'm chalk full of optimism today, it might have something to do with the fact that today was my first day back at work after a week of training down in the sun near Palm Springs. Highlight of the trip had to be riding through Joshua Tree National Park. That was cool.
Seeing as how I didn't race the last two weekends I have been usurped as the undisputed champion of nothing (WSBA rankings). I'm back to racing this weekend though, and looking very forward to it. The training down in CA felt good, hopefully I'll be able to produce some results with the miles that I put in.
If you are in the Seattle area this Sunday I should (weather permitting) be racing at the Boat Street crit in the U-district. Come holler, boo, throw stuff at me, whatever. It's a fun course that is good for spectators.

Welcome home Jamie, Not much has changed here, though the weather is a bit better and I don't suck as bad as I did at Mason Lake!
So, how many days and miles did you get in Cali?
James did real well at "fat camp" and only fell off the wagon the last day when he had: 3 dognuts, In-n-Out burger+shake, and ice cream. Dude is not super svelte, but man he goes up hills well.
