BACK FROM THE LEDGE

After several days of "post Jingle Cross self pity", I pulled myself back from the ledge of a season ending suicide leap! But a week of so-so training, and a hard effort at the park today, and i'm back psyched about my pending road trip to K.C. I'm not expecting miracles of increased fitness with one week to go, but I would like to not drive 6 hours, pay for food, hotels, gas, and feel like ASS on the start line. If any of the 2 or 3 readers of this site are at Nationals Thursday and Friday, look me up and i'm buying! For a cat 3 wantabe with sketchy technical skills, this is the mother of all road trips for me. What I lack in race fitness and skill, I will compensate for in alcohol consumption post race on Thursday! I'll try to take as many photos of all the local racers I see and post them all. See you there. Ty
