Damage Control
Ok so parts of this weekend went really well, others....well, not so well. We hit off the weekend by going to the CU vs. CSU game at Invesco field in Denver. It was pretty crazy. FYI this is prob the biggest game of the year for CU and CSU fans, not so much the teams but the fans are insane. The stadium was pretty full with Green and White on one side while the other side was Black and Gold.
The Crowd was somewhat wild, ok real wild. Probably from the pregame festivities:
Well midway through the game I get a phone call from non other than Davis. Through 5 minutes of incoherent exchanges I figured that Davis was in a bit of a pickle. He had partied to his desire and was now in the presence of Denver's finest. "I need you to pick me up". Well being the good guy that I am I went from level 1 to level 5 and across the stadium to rescue Davis. Davis has probably felt better as we all found out after his immediate trip to the restroom.
I asked Davis how his weekend had gone thus far, his response was priceless.
We had to leave the game early b/c well...Davis really needed to get home. While we were on Davis's walk of Shame:
However, despite our football team losing and having what appears to be having a bad start to a bad season I was able to salvage a victory.
No doubt Davis was having a hard time getting home, but we got him home safe and sound.
Next on the list was heading to Fort Collins to spend the night before the first XC race of the season. Once there the second bad blow of the day hit. Texas lost to Ohio State! Say it aint so!!!!!!!!! oh well this weekends football was a kick to the nuts. After a good nights sleep Danae and I drove to Beaver Meadows for the XC. It was cold on the way and cold for the start however the area was really nice.
Once on the start line it was great to see so many people from the norba's. Dustin, Trevor, Collin and so many more. There were something like 40 starters for the Mens A race. I was relieved that the start wasn't as insane as a norba however. Collin however drilled it and soon made a separation. From what I hear he had a good gap the entire race. The race was LONG! 32 miles. Not flat. Techi for sure. PAIN..... However I had a great race for me. I started around 25 or so and passed people every lap and ended up with a top ten!!!! yay.
After the race the team went to Pot belly for some grub. Everyone killed it. That was a lot of food for a lot of people. Congrats to Brian for pulling off a podi this weekend. 3rd! way to go.
Brian givin his victory speech, well not really but I don't have a caption for this one.
Danae put up with me on the drive home as I gave her crap for her Southern Californian driving habits. i.e. racing.
Thanks Danae!
This upcoming weekend I might be doing the NRC omnium in Parker. I don't know I might not have time, bed bath and beyond who knows. Anyway that's about it.
