I got in a race!

Yesterday, August 17, 2006, I officially got a chance to honestly start telling people that yes, I race bicycles. It's been too long. My last race was in February, and I stunk. I didn't have the heart or lungs, and the legs were only halfway there. I'd done a cyclocross race in January that should have told me that, but I ( Read more... )

Cool! Sounds like a good time. Of course, 101 degrees racing in the hot sun isn't quite my cup of tea, but I get the gist. So now I can say, "this friend of mine who races." :-).

So when do you graduate to Cat 4?

I'm not sure - another 5 or 6 races? 4 at least. I'd like to make a legitimate placing before I request it, at least, and it might not make sense to force myself into the upgrade until I can settle back into regular training.(After kiddo 2 is what, 18?) :)

Okay. We'll see how it goes with the rest of the crits and Chappel Hill and stuff. I'm really hoping that you'll be able to continue your morning & occational afternoon rides after the baby is born. We'll see... I think it will depend on how easy of a sleeper the baby is and how fast I recover from pregnancy and labor.

Oh, this is inspiring me to make a picture book for Matthew. (The question, do I write it "See David." or "See Dad."

Looking for races? Hotter'N Hell is on August 25. :)

HNH is just a stupidity ride. I've done it. Once. Found out that the route isn't fantastic, the race portion isn't much fun, and it's travel I really don't need right now. Then add the fact that someone put the thing in the middle of Texas in August...

Then add the fact that someone put the thing in the middle of Texas in August...

But that's the best part! Of course, I would probably die a quick and miserable death after mile 5 or 6...

krikwennavd August 20 2006, 01:05:19 UTC

Then by all means, feel free to ride it. :)
