Taking Up Slack
Well I'm back. I was on vacation, then came back to school, then school really started, then i realized i had to do things for school and then I got sick. Whammy! Yea it hit me big. However, in the circle of friends, and in this case those friends with blogs, there is always someone taking up the slack for others. Primetime has been "on it" for some time now. While i didnt update for almost a month he has his funny shiznit everyday. Well, now im back and he is on "Sabbatical", so i guess its my turn. Since the Purto Rico trip has been published on Multiple Blogs, Ill spare you my whole story.
I will say that racing in PR was a blast though. Much of the racing part was spent in a dorm like setting learning bad words from Puerto Riccans.
I had some of my best racing in PR despite riding in torrential downpours.
After racing, the parents came into town. Then we all headed to Viequez, an isalnd off the coast of PR. Ill just photo dump now.
The beaches.
The Horses.
Snorklin.
Trouble.
Lovebird sequence. Battle for Supremacy.
The Fam.
BartmanG and Rosie
Congrats!
Now when i got back i was ready to get onto my mtn bike. Some of the roomates went up to Ned for an nice relaxing ride.
When we got to the top Shep and I couldn't contain ourselves.
Group Photo!
Last weekend was the first collegiate race of the season.
STXC wasn't the greatest. Pure Power. 3 People crashed in front of me at 3 different times, so needless to say i didnt catch "the train", not that i would have, but riding by myself sucked. Bryan aka pure power, held his own against FLC's 8 guys, yea count'em. finishing a solid 4th. way to go. Kiel got 10th despite the fact he's ridden a mtn bike like 4 times in his life. The XC was awesome. The course was hard and technical. I was riding very well, top ten. As i was bombing the decent all of the sudden i see two FLC guys, the leaders coming right at me. "Your going the wrong way!" "No, your going the wrong way!". "WTF"...."F". And that was that. 30 mins later we found our way to the start finish where the people behind us had found their way to the finish. According to the results there were 9 finishers and the rest DNF's. So that was a bumber, especially since i was racing super well, on the course that suits me the most and this is the second year in a row that CSU has blown it. Oh well. Despite the race being pretty much a failure, camping was a blast! The iphone as sad as it is provided us with probably 5 hrs of pure entertainment and laughter. THIS takes the cake. And THIS a close second.
After Racing i started to get sick. Today is the 6th day of sickness, i think im on the mend. Maybe ill race this weekends XC, maybe not. Sorry for the lack of updates, hopefully its back on track from now on. In the meantime enjoy.
