Friday...heading out for the "see if anything falls off ride". Hudson has a question about my use of spacers. Don't worry about it little buddy, I know what I'm doing. Scottyd your more of a gambler than I, I have to do the shakedown ride the day before.

I've got about 2 hours until round 2, tractor test track crit @ 3:30. I am so far from crit fast right now its not funny. Ask me to grind out a fast 60, 70, 80, 100+ gravel jam...no problem. Fast twitch, what's that? I showed up, I'll leave it at that. I stayed with the group & killed myself closing gaps at the rear of the field. I'm actually somewhat encouraged that I didn't detonate immediately. The test track was billed as 1/2 mile oval? Hmmm...I'd say the straights were approx. 100 yards & the ends were real short. I'm leaning towards 1/3 mile, but what do I know. Slightly banked made the outside/in line preferred. UNL Cycling crew did a good job pulling this all off.
A few odd things happened at the race, a couple firsts & a scenario I've been a part of before. A first...a rider is DQ'd for swearing, a second first...a rider snaps a chain & borrows a bike, takes a free lap & gets back in the race & finally (I've seen this one before) there's confusion with 2 to go & we ended up doing an extra lap. A lot going on...plus the buzz kill of a team mate hitting the deck.
What the hell am I doing up at almost 11:00 pm? I had to get my TT bike down from the rafters in the garage so I can do my first TTT with JT & Coach tomorrow morn, something different for sure. I mentioned to Coach it should be a good time as long as we don't crash each other out.
Later,
TK

Who's the gambler? Not one but two new pair of shoes? I'm scared shitless to change my cleats let alone my shoes. Same pair of Sidis since 1994. When they go I know I'll have all kinds of knee issues.
Plus I don't like to think of it as gambling as much as PRO level procrastination.
Way to go yesterday during the crit. You looked like you were riding great.
