Mental

So I haven't won a race in a long time and I really don't remember how... It's hard when you have raced for winners and other people for so long racing for yourself brings a whole new game.

Today was the easiest "ride" I have ever had. Did I win? No... Could I see Josh winning 10 yards up the road? Yes. Did I even try to get in the right position? No.

I need to get my head in the game.

Hell is...

Some Day...

when I don't have to ride an old Cosmos front wheel and an Alex rear that I found in the back room that has a sweet gangster hop in it, I am getting a set of these.

I love the new HED website with all the wind data. Zipps are for kids.

Mr. De Facto...

on txbra.org is no longer going to post. He was trying to be funny but the schooling he received over the last few days proved he wasn't.

My new alias on txbra will be... "Lalla."

I think you'll see my posting go down. HAHAHA

Thanks to all my mentors!

January's Tan Line Update

So I don't think I have done a lame post in awhile...

The ride.

Welcome to the west!

I would have never though life would come to this.

I got me a Passport, international racing license and funds for my ticket there AND back. It's going to be a fun ride.

Being Slow + Stefan = Pain

Well the race didn't quite go as planed... But Josh Carter Won and Jason Short got second. And my teammate in the 4/5s also got second and got $99.00!!! Collin got a top ten. So it wasn't all bad for the "Falls Posse."

Short race story: Jason got away with a dude right after neutral roll out. At some point before the crosswind section a half a dozen of us were trying to get off the front for what would seem like 10-15 min. It was a lot of attacks, bridging and counters. It was fun and I was in the mix. We hit the turn were I was not in the best position. I had to bridge up to the lead group where I was riding in the ditch on the wrong side of the road.... Then Stefan and Carter pasted me. Stefan then attack and I said good bye. I went to the last group which was about the 5th group back on the road. We caught everyone except the small group off the front about 2 min up. Well I wanted to get back in the race and tried to rally the 50+ peloton to actually pull though! Nahhh They would just attack me after I would do a 2-3min pull were no one would come around except a few dudes... After about 40 or so miles of this I got pissed and called it a day. Zone 2ed it the rest of the day

The best quote would have to be my directors after I picked up a few bottle. "Here's your water your riding back to the finish." And that was it... HAHA

Next race is in a few weeks.

Big Time

Training Tip Tuesday.

Why spend all that hard earned cash on sports marketed compression socks when you can go on eBay and get medical quality socks for only around $5.00? They have full length, calf length and open or closed toe. I like the open so I can wear my flip-flops. Where do you think "Skins" and such get there research from?

Sorry girl...

it's not you, it's me.I have to further explore my potential on the road bike and you're going to help pay for my ticket. It was good while it lasted. We did well racing and had lots of fun on the trail with the BCR boys. You will be missed.

Next stop... eBay.

First Race of the Season...

is a little over a week away in Copperas Cove. $20.00 to enter. The prize payout of $8 per rider 5 deep will go up 2 more dollars and 7 deep if it reaches above 50 riders. Which I think it will.

They had to add another 4/5 field because the first one filled.

This is racing. Thank you TBI and Copperas Cove.

Phat!

Some time ago (03*edited thanks Stefan) MSU/HHH had bar tape. The VP of the school hooked me up!

Grudge Match

I thought of a good way to raise money for the track and make is less boring between races.


imagine... A Sickboy/Super-Rookie, Brain/Hanna, Little Guy/Don, throw down!!! I would pay money for that! Wouldn't you?
