WIN!


Win's spawn other win's. After the hard race Sunday, I had some real good naps and rest days. Tuesday I woke up for Yoga, tired and groggy, I would try and ride after I yoga'd it up. The only reason I get up so early is to yoga, normally I'd be sleeping in. But this day was different, I was trying a new radio station, and if you don't know, I really like music, like lyrics and knowing the name of the song. Well it just so happens the radio station gave me this lyric: "How can a person like you bring me joy. Under the pale moon, Where I see a lot of stars". The guy said it, and it took me a minute to put into context to sing it, but I thought to myself, I KNOW THIS! The guy on the radio that called in was like, Uh, I don't know, what a retard, I was yelling the answer to him. Well, it just so happened that the DJ gave me a number and I called in.....they picked up, I won a free CD, and got entered in a grand prize drawing! It made my day, I was happy to have gotten something for free...by winning it.
The ride on Tuesday was lull at best, the legs were still tired, even after all the rest, and only got in 2 hours. It seems as though my heart is begining to get like Sager's, riding at 140 beats going 22-25 mph. But you still feel the legs.
Wednesday was going to be my first cross race of the year. I headed down to Houston for a weekely cross series, more of a fun race in my perspective. The course was pretty rad, really made a choice between a hardtail or CX bike difficult. Some sections were tough on the CX bike, while some were wide open flats....CX advantage. Young gun Bennet Brown got the whole shot, but was riding a XC rig, I bridged up to him on lap 3 and eventually got past him. Taking my 'win' on Tuesday a bit further to spawn another W.

So how many people can tell me the name of that tune above???--no googleing.

All right, I cheated and looked up the lyrics. I would have never gotten that.
