Weekend of Relaxation!

Yesterday, I went to the twin cities as mentioned for the day. The play turned out to be quite a piece, it was all about our "H2O" supply and how we need to cherish it and save it. It had great refrences to the $3 bottles of water you can pay for in some places. It was really cool. The theatre that put it on was "The Heart of the Beast" check it out if you would like something to read about.

Today, got up and rode for 2+ with a couple guys on a pretty hilly route. 3 climbs or so of a mile or longer...and I was able to push and lead up 2 of them. Who knows, maybe I can start getting my fat ass up the climbs and be considered decent?? Who knows!!!

Peace

So had my two tests today, philosophy and biology. Both went ok i suppose, I am ready to hopefully see a decent curve on the bio one however. The weekend is finally here, thank goodness, that week seemed like it went by so slow!!

went out for 2 hours today in a nice but slightly windy day.

tomorrow i get to go to the twin cities with my design 1 class to see a play: Heart of the Beast

I hate school!

I have no motivation right now, as the weather has gotten good and I want to be out on the road. But of course, I just have to do it! 2 tests this week....Microorganisms Unit in Bio with Protists, Bacteria/Archaea and Fungi. Also have a Philosophy Mid-term.....gosh, uggg haha.

Rode today without a wind jacket or legs on!!! It was great, think I might even have gotten a little sun on the legs!!!

Back to Norweiga

Drove back to Decorah-land today! Dropped some of my stuff off at the dorms then drove to my grandparents for a little trainer/paris-nice action. Rode on the trainer for 1H30Min while watching the Paris-Nice race......dude whose the same size as me took the prologue.

The God of Thunder Thor Hushovd. Slipstream faired very well, Danny Pate and Trent Lowe in the top 10.

This week is supposed to be nice, hopefully get some good mileage in as I continue to get ready for the racing season. Getting really pumped for the season!! AGGGHHGHSDGHKSFJALJF

Only 2 weeks!!!

The Big CR

Down in Cedar Rapids for the weekend. Its cold, and sandy, and there are more potholes and craters in the street, then on the Moon!

Didn't go riding with Jimmy, he wussed out on the temps. :) Its ok, I don't blame you, it was really cold.

Went out with Junior Mac Sheldrup instead, for a nice 20 miler, involving Spanish Road(Hill) Nice just to get out and ride with someone for the first time this year.

Back to Decorah, and reality and homework tommrrow...but hey, thats life and Im getting old!!!! IM ALMOST 20 in SEPT! HAHA

Got a long way to go!

Did my first interval of the season today haha :)

Didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, but still a long way to go before Kent Park is won. Oh well, the pain is worthit, I'm back doing one thing I love!

So Team Slipstream is doing so awesome, I don't think anyone but Jonathon Vaughters knew they were going to be this good, have some classics riders now!! It will be good to see what they do at Paris Nice, I know Millar wants to win it. OH BABY!

Rest of the week will hopefully fly by as I will be back in CR this weekend, hopefully go out for a long ride if you want...

*Wink* Jimmy, Mac, Chris Reed *Wink*
