More Zombie Wasting

Can you make it to the Mansion?

Fastest in January stir crazy by march.


Well it finally happened. The rain forced me inside and onto the trainer. Had a solid 45 minute run outside then I jumped on the trainer for another hour and 45. Felt good afterward. Would be nice to still be outside though. I'll probably try to go to the Y tonite. Then I want to squeeze in a Road ride Sunday before the big game. Its supposed to be 45 anyway plenty warm. Well so far Christi and I have not caught swine flu even though both of the kids are sick. The both have had very high fevers. Up to 104 degrees. I just keep washing my hands. Are your knuckles supposed to be bleeding? I am really looking forward to the Duathalon at the camp. I just have to get thru this next week without getting sick. Then hopefully a little turkey cross on Thanksgiving. So I can have a good appettite. Because, lets face it we all just ride bikes so we can eat lots. Right?

Schwag and Watch out for those Jetts



Good times at the WORS banquet last night. Didn't win any big prizes but, I did get a nice womens purple fleece. I was able to trade that at the WORS table for a nice set of Bibs. Cause you can't have enough cycling clothes. I was not one of the lucky ones who got some Jett clothing. All I can say is watch out for those jetts.

Yyyyyyyyy. M. C. A.




So first trip back to the Y in about six months. Since early april I think. It went well did another brick. Guess what? I can walk the next day. This running stuff isn't that bad. I'll still get k
illed at my Duathalon. At best I'm running about a 8 minute mile. Oh well just have to make some time up on the bike. Kinda bummed about working out indoors but, you gotta do it to stay in shape. I figure I'll probably only have about 1 day each month to ride outside in Dec, Jan and, Feb. My house is now a recovery ward as Paige has the Flu. Hopefully I am not throwing up at work next week. Because, I have to go to Minoqua for three days. Just have to keep washing hands and getting lots of sleep. I did not do the Rat race last night. Not sure if anyone showed its been so crappy. I will do another brick tomorrow tho. Maybe I'll go for a longer one. I'll probably have to burn off the calories from the WORS banquet tonight. Glad another crazy week at work is over. Working 45 hours and only getting 40 gets old after a while. On the bright side the work is getting closer to home. Not having to drive 2 hours to work would be nice. See you tonite if your going to Stevens Point.

Boo Zoo and Pumpkin Carving
















The Family and I went to the New Zoo for some quality time with the animals and CANDY. We went on friday night. Paige went in her princess costume and Alana went as a little lion. Christi went as her normal beautiful self and I wore my usual ugly mug. We had some fun and we got some candy. We should we paid enough to get in. After having some fun with the sheep and Forrest the cow we jumped on the inflatable pirate ship and bouncy castle for a while. Then we headed home to eat Candy. Saturday we carved some pumpkins and boiled another one for pumpkin pie. Yum. It was also my Birfday so I did absolutely nothing in the morning. I would have gone for a bike ride but, I did my very first brick ever. Bike/run. I did that on friday and could hardly walk on saturday. I am getting ready for this. So then saturday we went to my friends Scott and Lorra's house warming party. We brought along 2 bottles of apple pie and I think a good time was had by all. Except Lorra was pissed when I burned one of her pumpkins. Sorry Lorra.

Boygan Race Report


What a fun race. It was a blast to go to sheboygan and compete in my second comp race. I used to think sheboygan was a technical course until I raced bear paw the previous race. The new Top Fuel might have had something to do with too. So the race started out pretty typical. The starts in Comp are faster than in sport. So I just hung toward the back on the start and tried not to get in peoples way. The leaders were flying and I felt like I got boxed in by a few slower people. Then when we got to the first single track, Dead stop. Kinda figured something like that would happen before the race. I think I heard there was a crash in the top 10? Oh well not like I expected to do well. So first lap went well. Climbed the izer got the 5 spot. Second lap stuck behind 2 females in first section of single track. Couldn't get by till the road. By that time 5 other guys had caught up to me again. Jump to early out of single track and realize I'm going to run right into this chick. Slam on brakes and Hes down. Crap now I have to pass all these people again. Second lap went well otherwise. Climbed the izer again but, no more money. Third lap was going great just kept reeling more people in. Especially on the road portion, I was flying up that thing. Got to the crick crossing and spun out on the bank. Had to get off and run. Then I tore bibs wide open while jumping back on. Showing off my pasty white man flesh. Climbed the izer again, popped up front wheel at top. Kept going though. Fourth lap I caught a guy I recognized from bear paw. I had stopped when I heard a elite was coming through at bear paw and 2 comp guys went by then. Didn't know at the time but, I had been in 3rd place. So this was the guy that took 3rd. So I yelled at him on the course, he probably thought I was crazy. Passed him by and never looked back. Fourth time up the izer I got to the top. Popped front tire up brought it down and fell over. Just didn't have the power after almost 2 hours. Sped off to the finish, tried to catch 1 more guy but, couldn't quite. Final results 25th overall 3rd in age. I am really looking forward to next year especially the camp and wausau which suit my riding style. Plus I need to get the Top Fuel set up for me. I never even adjusted the shocks. Just went and rode. I have to say that bike is a ROCKET ship. Felt so confident on that bike it was crazy. Just pick your line and go. What roots? What rocks? I didn't do the log jump because my front tire was low. It had around 20 psi in it. At one point I hit a rock and felt the rim hit hard. So after that I babied it in the corners and jumps. Or it could be I'm a wimp.
