Feels like a Monday

I woke up tired and achey and probably should have stayed in bed, but old habits die hard. I had stayed up late to try and get a deal on a pair of Nike shoes on ebay, but the price went over my self-imposed limit at the end so I let them go. I'm not about to spend a lot of money for a pair of used shoes that might not fit quite right. That's what bike shops are for. If there's one thing that you should buy from your LBS, it's shoes. I'd just like someone to explain why they cost so much, because the prices are ridiculous. Hence, I'm still wearing my $100 Sidi shoes that make my feet hurt.

Anyway, there were only four or five on the morning levee ride today, and we kept it slow and easy the whole way.

Man, our LAMBRA track stuff is really screwed up. After having to cancel two track meets, they ended up essentially combining an omnium with some of the track championships last weekend. Attendance was poor, of course, since there was little advance notice and the whole thing was pretty confusing. I'm supposed to work out the LCCS rankings from what I got, which didn't even include USCF numbers like it's supposed to. I also don't have the results of a couple of the team events and one of the June track meets. It's really kind of a joke when people who come in dead last in a particular event end up getting 3rd place double LCCS points. The minimum fields should be higher. Then there's the issue of which events were actually "championship" events. There is conflicting information about that, also some of the events that were held are not legitimate USCF championship events but I suppose some people thought they were, and some USCF championship events were not held.
