I can assure you, the lack of updates is for good reason. For a rest week, it sure has been busy on and off the bike. Took Monday and Tuesday pretty easy to try and kick the crap out of my legs from the Hampton’s. Wednesday was back to the pain cave with some fun race simulations and more than my fair share of running around with a bike on my shoulder. Wednesday afternoon was a high school CC race down at Houten’s Pond, and those runner types were all up in my ‘cross course. I came round one of the corners on a hot lap and was met by the Norwood girls squad in its entirety. Had there been warning of such company, I might have wiped the snot that was surly oozing from my anaerobic nostrils. To end the day I was doing some handling drills on the beach and some runs ups on the stairs. By that times, I was being giggled at by enough teams to realize I should probably wrap it up and leave the park to them. Tonight was another easy skills session down at the park to keep my sane. Some rock drops, a few picnic tables; the usual. Coming up this weekend is the big dance down in Gloucester. Rounds one and two of the United States Grand Prix of cyclo-cross series. Saying the competition is going to be though would be like saying World War II was kind of bad. Everyone who’s been sitting on there couch since the end of the road and mountain bike season are back in the swing, and fully trained up to kick of there cross campaigns here in MA. I don’t what’s going on this year, but it just seems like field sizes ( and depth of talent ) have exploded. I’ll be looking for a good showing in the U23’s. Therese some big news to report about for who as well as on what I’ll be racing for the remainder of this ‘cross season. I wont say anything for sure until things get finishing touches this weekend, but I can say It’s big, orange, and has been around the block ( or across the pond ). Check back Saturday and Sunday for the first Gloucester coverage and results you’ll find anywhere. Peace.
