Left out to dry

I was looking back at all the posts from the last month or so. L-A-M-E on the amount of posts.

Still no racing.
I guess it was two weeks ago I was going to giv'er at Wells Ave, but the race got nixed due to the snow. There is a Dirt meet in CT on Saturday but homie gotta work, so no dirt for me. As long as snow, sleet, rain, meatballs don't fall from the sky I think I'll debut this weekend at Wells. But who knows, Mother Nature seems to be pissed at us right now.

Last weekend I went home for a handful of days. The thing about going home is I always try and pack everything I miss into the time I'm there. By the time its time to comeback to Boston, I'm uber tired. Thats just the way it is.

I got my bike game on while I was there. It was a really great to see the crew of A.T. and C-Dogs + Marc Gulliickson. Marc is a two time Cycle Cross national champion (among other things) who has since retired. I've hungout/talked to him before I think even ridden with him before but I felt a little silly having him on my wheel being that I have a poster of him winning the a national championship on my wall in NP.

It was a hard weekend for a number of reasons but something that is still on my mind and bothering me is the way I road. With the gazillion hours I've put in this year, I road like shit. On the first climb it was everything I had just to keep pace and the way I climbed didn't get much better from then on out not to mention how I was a squid in the single track. I was really looking forward to giving the new rig a second real ride and showing the PROs that I've done my homework and it was time to play. I know I'm hard on myself but what made it worse was that I was missing the season opener of the NORBA Nationals. I was really aiming for that race but things just didn't workout. I love racing nationals. I up my game, I love the travel of seeing new places and riding new trails with different dirt.

I also get to add to the nationals number plate wall. I guess its good that I didn't go out to Arizona being that I sucked at the bike game this weekend.

I've gotta find some motivation and get my confidence back 'cuse the mental state isn't there right now. We all know that it's 10% physical and 90% mental.

It looks like I've picked up one last sponsor late, late in the sponsorship season. I'll hold off on naming them until I know that its all worked out. I've also got some volunteer stuff going down that will be good for my head/skills and the shop, but I'm going to hold off on the who/what/why/when for a little longer.
