Thursday, May 15, 2008

Finally got some time to blog again as work is beginning to calm down.

Highlights since last blog are:
  • First pit swim on Saturday, felt great not too much panic and felt like I might do MK Sprint this Sunday but lets wait and see. Without the wetsuit was weird - cold and the water felt very thick and heavy after swimming with the wetsuit on!
  • Ordered new bike - Bianchi Pista. And no Steve you're wrong it is way prettier in chrome. A man who rides a gold postman's bike clearly knows nothing about style
  • New Rapha soft shell in the sale...hmmmm its lovely to touch and wear and even just look at!
  • 2 nd in my cat at Bedford and 4 mins off my pb for the sprint.
  • Got out for a ride in the sun on Sunday
  • Watching Steve nearly fall off and sh1t himself going downhill on his fixie
  • Publicity in the Comet (despite looking like a bunch of freaks on the cover) and them not publishing the url
  • I've not yet been outsourced!

Low points are:

  • Bike ordered but still not here!
  • Still no swims at lunchtime!
  • Still getting foot pain
  • Drunk too much beer last two weeks
  • Hungover today
  • Constant corporate rejections for sponsorship

Coming up:

  • Maybe MK at the weekend
  • Beer fueled attack on bits of the Southdowns way on Milch's 40th b'day
  • Stevenage CC Time Trial
  • Maybe a new bike, if it ever arrives!
  • Possible haircut...well only possible
