Well I'm scheduled to be riding the ambulance today and I will be able to take 2.5hours off work to do my training. It's pretty tough to get motivated to go do a hard workout after you've been getting your face kicked all day with some ridiculous 911 calls. that's life and i deal with it. It made my shift go by a little faster or at least it helped.
The crit; well i wish i would have had time to warm up but since my time was limited I just rolled around for about 10min. It was windy again at the race but I like it like that. Races like this actually make you stronger, or so I tell myself. Start of the race Chris decides to get an attack going and then gets reeled in after a lap of suffering. 1 lap later I attack and get off the front for a lap by myself and then Brett comes across. As soon as he did I was praying others would come or they would at least shut us down. I was getting rid of a lot of weakness in my body today. We never really pushed it hard or at least I don't think I did because my legs felt like crap. I only came out to the race to get my leg going for this weekend but I think I did more then that tonight. Brett and I finally started to get a good tempo avg about 27-28mph. That's what Brett said, i forgot my head unit. Again, I'm at work and kind of busy. I couldn't not have asked for a better workout then I got tonight. When you get to the point of thinking of stopping or giving in and you just keep going hard, that is when you know you are getting stronger. I made a mistake by waiting to try and sprint it out on the last lap. I got the cards and played them this way tonight and I'm very pleased. Brett took the win and I got second, again. My week of hard training is over and now I will just be waiting for the hard work to come out for SpeedWeek.
Mississippi Grand Prix this weekend. I raced it back in 05 and had the overall won until the last day when it was a 12 on 1 crit. I lost and was not able to keep the overall. Oh yeah I was out their without any teammates. Maybe it will be different this year, or maybe not. We will just have to wait and see.
