Back to the Salt Mine


Don't you just hate the Monday following a weekend of racing? This morning I went out for an easy ride with Joe and Bob up on the levee, cruising along between 18 and 20 mph most of the time and feeling good that my legs didn't feel sore at all. I guess those last four or five laps of the race yesterday, when the remnant of the pack had basically stopped racing, kept me from doing much damage. From my perspective, not having been in a break, the Cat. 1,2,3 race was significantly easier than the Master's race had been the day before.

There will be much to do this week in preparation for the Tour de Louisiane, so I took some time this morning to knock out the results websites and USCF database upload from last weekend since Shane send me the results spreadsheet first thing in the morning. For once, the USCF upload went without any errors, which means that all of the USCF numbers matched up with the riders' names. That was nice. I still need to do the LCCS rankings. Maybe tonight. Today I am feeling kind of sleepy for some reason. I think it's just that usual post-race letdown.

Got a vmail from Gina yesterday as we were driving home from Natchez. She had left it in the morning as she was driving back to Atlanta from the Rochester Twilight Crit, but my phone didn't pick it up until I got out of the boondocks and we hit the interstate. She said the Cheerwine girls got three in the top 20, including herself, with one of her teammates making the podium, and that she had spent a lot of time in the pit. She broke a ksyrium wheel and also a carbon seatpost during the race, but didn't say anything about crashing??? Hopefully she'll eventually call me back and give me the details.
