Back Home

I'll just leave it at the worst TT of my life. That is how it went for me in at Seven Springs TT. I don't know why but i just couldn't go fast. I decided I wouldn't stick around for the road race on monday and headed home saturday morning. Friday night Singer and I went out and took in a little of the somerset night life. We definitely didn't fit in i wish had my camera with me to take some pics but i forgot it. There was a hardcore band playing in the club which actually was attached to the Quality Inn that we stayed at. I think I have the best possible way to Harrisburg figured out for the trip to NC in a couple weeks. Mapquest doesn't account for construction which seemed like it never ended on the way out to PA on 78. Today I hit the training pretty hard going back to what was working in May with the longer rides. I did over 4 hours today with a solid 40 min climb in it along with some single track from Overlook Mtn. to Devils Kitchen. It was easily the most technical single track I have ridden since I've been back if not in my life. I tossed myself over the bars once but luckily like a cat i landed on my feet no harm done except i bent my derailleur hanger a little bit. Hopefully I can get my form back in time for mt. snow.

PA

Today i did a whole lot of nothing. I woke up headed over to watch a lap of the U-23 race. Went for a ride on the TT bike did a little opener. After my ride i picked up my packet for the weekend. I must have had the hardest time finding packet pick up out of every single person who has raced here this year. It had signs bigger than me that said packet pickup on them i was just neglecting to see them and i was driving around the venue for a solid 15 min. After that i headed back to hotel and laid around all day.

Singer is big into the the MKmen line of skin care products.
contact his boo at slwatford@gmail.com

My favorite part of the product is its disclosure "suitable for dry to oily skin" who isn't it suitable for then? That's my question.

I've been on Todd's program for food here at seven springs. I've had dinner at the same place the last two nights. My TT doesn't start until 6:34 p.m. tomorrow night so it will be another night where i can't sleep b/c i will be so reved up from the race until 1 or 2 in the morning. O singer just put out 450 watts in the hallway and 1040 in the parking lot on his TT bike watch out.

Elite Road Natz

I made it to seven springs today after a construction filled drive from NY. Staying with singer, Ian and singer dad and teammate. It was pouring for the last couple of hours of my drive but it dried up just when i arrived. Went out for a ride on last years TT course. They
are running a new TT course this year but you aren't allowed to pre ride it at all which is gay. Why would you have national TT course that no one is allowed to pre ride. At least no one will no what expect. Tomorrow is the U-23 RR i will be out feeding and spectating. Talked to overend today and he flys in Sunday for our RR on Monday. I'll write more tomorrow.
