Racing and more Racing

Last weekend was Mineral Well's and it was a good race, I raced the juniors and Day 1 was insanely easy. We only averaged 18mph. So it came down to a sprint finish, and the funniest thing happened with about 2miles to go a kid tried to break away and with nothing around on his own he flipped over his bike and landed on his head, it was so funny. But anyways with about 200m to go i sprint off and won by a couple of seconds. Day 2 was a lot harder we averaged 21 so we picked it up a little. The climb was crazy too thats were i got dropped but there were only two up the road and every one else was dropped way off the back. When i came to the top of the climb i kicked it up a gear and tried as hard as i could to try and catch them before the finish. I ended up third, not to bad though a 1st and a 3rd.
This weekend was Rocky Mount stage race in Louisianna, this aswell was a good weekend. The road race was on Saturday, and it was a lot of fun but hard, i raced the 4's. It was a 54 mile race with a brutly last hill, the race up until that point was pretty easy it was an attack fest though, which was stupid. But when we came to the top of the hill one guy attacked which is what i was waiting for sort of, but i had some shifting problems when he attacked. This kind of paosed me a little, but i didn't worry about it and just standed in the gear i was in, but that little pause caused me to loose out on finishing top 5, but i was able to hold on to 7th. The time trial was later that day, i was really tired but ready to give it my all and gain as much time as possible. The time trial was straight into the wind then the way back was a tail wind the whole way. It was a 4 mile time trial and i rode a 10:09 which is really embarassing but hey im not the time trial type, so i wasn't that disappointed. I was really waiting for the crit the next day, and man was i ready. The crit had a break in it about half way through and i wasn't sure if i was going to go with it or not, but i did anyway. Luckily it stuck to the end and it ended up being a sprint finish. We came aroung the last corner and the sprint was on. I was tied for third going into the sprint, and i kind of got boxed by that guy well not really but i got pushed into the outside corner and there was a guy in front of me, so i had to move quickly get around them, once i got passed them two there was only one more guy to get. I was in my smallest gear but i just couldn't go any fast. I mean i caught up to him but i couldn't pass him in time. So i ended up second and 6th overall. So i guess i couldn't say it was a good weekend.

Nathan's in Cali

While Nathan and Shannon have been in Cali. i have been doing alot of trainning. Over spring break i got a solid 4-5 hour ride in everyday, it was heavenly. I have been doing alot of effort workout's out at TMS like one day a week its been hard it is all worth it. I had a time trial 2 weeks ago, in Aubrey, Tx me and Rachel where out at it. It was a lot of fun, well sort of. It was crazy windy out. The start we were with the wind and on the way back straight into it. The wind was easly over 20mph prolly closer to 25mph. Over all out of all the times i got 16 out of a good 80 people. But in the 4/5 group i got 6th which is pretty good. I can easliy say that i gave it every thing i could, when i was done i had nothing left, i was dead tired. I just got beaten far a square and im ok with that, hahaha. The next race i did was the tuesday night crit in Plano. It was a tough race, but it shouldn't have been. I did the B race, but showed up late which was my fault, i did not know that the trip would take as long as it did. So i did not get any warm up and the race started off very fast, but tomorrow will be different for sure. This last weekend was the Belterra/Manda road race, i did not go though. I did not have a place to stay or money for a place to stay either. So that's about it for these past few week's sorry for not posting.

Here is a video for those of you who mountain bike or like to jump stuff, it is so funny.

I have let my blogging get away from me again, sorry about that. I have not really had the time to look at blog's lately, oh yea and im lazy. Well the past few week's have been pretty busy with riding and all, i have been trying really hard to get my sprint insanely fast. I have also been working on actually being able to finish a race so i can sprint! hahaha! I had a lot of fun on this sunday riding with these two kids who were like 8-10 years old, just kinda showing them the basic's of riding in a group and how save some energy going up the climbs. Which is kinda wierd cause i need to learn how to do that too. Well i sent in my upgrade request for my 3. Hopefully they will accept it, and maybe i can race next weekend depending on what the team is doing. 

Well i will make sure to keep up with my blogging and keep every one up to date with the latest cycling news.

So i believe i have gotten complete over my sickness, my throat is still a little. I will deffinetley be better by this weekend, and ready to take home another win from Vista Lago! CANT WAIT!!!

So i just saw Will's post about "Flight of the Conchords" and i am really happy to see that someone else listen's to them besides me so to go along with his video here is another great song from the 2nd most famous folk rock band in New Zealand, well used to be! haha

In Norman, OK today!

These men are installing and setting solid steel pillars in concrete to stop vehicles from parking on the pavement outside a sports bar in downtown Norman, OK. Wonder how long until they realize where their van is parked.

HA HA HA HA HA, that is were Pickle-O lives.

Will did you see these guys?

Awesome stuff going on!!!

So Pace Bend Road Race was this weekend, and man was it excited, well maybe that's not the word for it, perhaps the word, well two words would be heart racing.
On Saturday Nathan, Shannon, Parker, William, and I road with the club member. Later in the ride Rachel showed up out of no where, it was really confusing, because I had heard that she was sick, so I was wondering what the hell she was doing there. I thought about it a little and well i guess even if you are sick you still need to ride a little. Speaking of being sick, i went to the doctor today and it seems i have a mild flu, sick again i cant believe it. Usually i never get sick, but just this year i have already gotten sick twice. I know, I know that's crazy.

Well enough about people being sick and getting sick. This weekend was like i have already stated heart racing. I raced in the Junior Open class, the distance was only 25 miles, and for me that's more of a warm-up ride. The night before the race Nathan and I were talking, he was saying that if i didn't win this race then well i wouldn't have a BH bike anymore. Now I'm not sure if he was serious, but when somebody say's something like that you better take them seriously if you don't know better. You can probably tell that i got to keep my bike, since I'm still posting on the Blog, and if i got to keep my bike then......Oh Yea that's right i won. No biggie or anything. The race was farley easy, i didn't really warm up that much. I figured that i would kinda warm up during the actually race. That is precisely what i did. The race started at 8:15, we were doing 4 laps, each lap 6.2 miles. About mid-way through the first lap i did a little fake attack to see how my legs were feeling. I broke away for about a minute then let the pack catch me. After that i sat in for the rest of the race. 2nd, lap..........3rd, lap..........4th, lap. Same thing every time just sat in and enjoyed the ride. Last time up the hill came off some one went i got on third wheel and we started to break away. This kid though was not very strong so the pack caught us again. After that i just sat in till the down hill to the sprint leveld off, but going that early was a bad idea, way to early for me. I am more of a sprinter for the last 200m and less. So i got up to go and was off the front by about 50-75m but like i said i went to early. I sat back done to push it some more just sitting down. I looked back and there was a kid clossing in on my wheel so i had to get up and go again. No worry's i had this sprint in the bag, easy as pie. Of course i went across the finish line with hands raised high.

So as you can see my weekend was great, as for every one else not so good, Alot of the team was getting cramps, Corey and Leo got in a crash, Cory broke his colar bone, and Leo has a little road rash. Peter got DQ'd for a stupid call, the said he tossed his water bottle 100m before the feed zone.

Ok that's it for now lets end this with a funny story to keep you going in times of need.

So all the sudden i have been really addicted to solving Rubik's Cubes, and i mean i can do it no big deal, but i do it all the time, and now i want to get even faster at it. It is a major addicition. Some people say that it is really hard but it really is quite easy all it is, is a bunch of patterns that solve it for you. One day i wish i could be like this guy.
