illtastic!!!


I woke up at 5:00pm today. Man, I feel like death. Tried riding to work...Mistake, I think I just made myself sicker! Anyway, taking another day off tomorrow to rest up.
Check out my latest results. I finished mid-pack in a "way harder ride than last year" course. I managed 7 laps and climbed over 10,000ft in a 8hr enduro race. I finished 14th out of 30 something. Top finisher had 9 laps; so we were all close, it was up to who could hold a killer pace for the whole thing. I went up by myself and supported myself between laps. It was awesome. I might try doing that next year at the 24hrs of adrenalin. I will just tell the officials that my "pit crew" went to get something to eat.
My new Jabber is in the shop and being built. Hopefully, I can get it out this weekend. Will take pic's.
Cheers!

Mr. Rogers in da house!!!


Look familiar? This is how I feel; and it's totally not me! I am used to teaching older children and being able to have mature conversations. My conversations sound like this, "Okay class who can tell what book gives us information about the province of Saskatchewan?" Here are the range of answers that I get:
  1. Mr. S you can find that information in a encyclopedia.
  2. Mr. S, did you know my cousins feet are this big (holds up a fist)!
  3. Mr.S, look at my capital D, isn't it pretty?

Oh man, this grade level is a change of pace. But I have this weekend to look forward to a nice 8hr race. Will let you know how things go.

Cheers!
