Time flies when you're...

It seems that the older I get, the faster time goes by. It has been a month since I have updated this thing, but it feels like yesterday.

This week has been busy as all get out, and its going to get progressively busier as the week comes to an end. I have an interview for an internship at a law firm in York on Thursday. Then on Friday I am getting a V02 max test done so I can start up coaching with Bill Elliston of Targetraining. (thanks Stephan)

Following those shenanigans its off to race at Lehigh Saturday and Bucknell on Sunday. Needless to say I should be pretty wiped Saturday coming off the testing.

Now, to bring you up to speed on the past month.

College racing hasn't gone as planned. Although the season is still quite early for me and I don't have the punch I normally have, I am frustrated and bummed at my results. Rutgers went very well- my ITT time put me in 8th in the B's and would have put me in top 20 in the A's. I finished 6th in the crit, but had a disappointing bonk in the circuit race.

Philly sucked- 2 flats. Lemon hill was exciting as hell in the rain, though. Until I flatted with 3 laps to go. I'm just glad that course didn't claim another bike.

Columbia started out really strong- 2 2nd place primes. The wind was brutal! But the course is amazing. However, there was a crash in the first turn on the NEUTRAL LAP!! I was in perfect position for the sprint to the finish, usually my favorite part, but when I started my sprint I just didn't want it and dropped back from the front of the peleton to finish in 10th....

Till next time...
