Gearing Up For The Weekend

The weeks all ready half over and it's time to pack back up and head further east. I got some good training in the last few days while I was here. I got lost yesterday and added an extra hour to my ride, but luckily I had plenty of food along so I really didn't care. Today was a double day so I was out doing intervals this morning, after a good nap and lunch I headed back out this afternoon but only made it about 20 minutes before the sky broke loose on me and I ended up putting my tail between my legs and riding through 4" of water on the way home. It was one of those rains were it was cool at first, I was just doing some practice over at the park and a little rain didn't matter, but then it really came down, the roads flooded, the sewers backed up and people were looking at me funny as I headed for home. At least it was warm.

This weekend are two pretty big races. One in Delaware and one in Pennsylvania. Saturday is a C1 event so I'm really hoping to hold my ground and finish up there, a top 10 would be great, but I'm really hoping for a top 5. Hopefully the course suits me, maybe all this rain will head up there this weekend and help me out. I think I'll still be one of the first call ups so that should help too, I better not blow it.
