Before I write about the crit last Sunday, I want to share a couple conclusions that I came to this weekend.
#1 I hate Big Town Hero sandwiches. They are disgusting, unless you’re the type of person who enjoys limp iceberg lettuce saturated in mayonnaise, lathered onto a tasteless piece of soggy bread, and topped [...]
This is going to be a long one.
I prepared for bad weather as I packed my cycling gear on Friday morning. After a quick ride and last minute bike tune ups at Life Cycle, Tony and I drove up to Sherwood to stay with my family the night before the race, which allowed us [...]
I didn’t see three elephants. That was just to get your attention, which is a poor lead because it leaves the reader disappointed and untrusting of the author from there on out. So now I’ll be brutally honest with you for the rest of this post: I only saw two elephants.

Last night I had a terrifying dream:
The scene was New York City and it was sometime past midnight in a bad part of town. I was a CIA agent, in charge of protecting a witness (an attractive female) who had seen some serious crime. There were two other CIA agents on my team: [...]
The sun has been too nice this week to do much writing. I have done a lot of riding in the last couple days though.
After Nectar Way on Tuesday, I rode with Mike for about 3.5 hours on Wednesday afternoon and got pretty dehydrated. The ride was easy, but we were out in [...]
Today has been, and will continue to be, a freakin busy day. I woke up and began writing one of 2 papers that are due tomorrow morning (both 2,000 to 3,000 words). Then I went to class, rode my guts out up Nectar Way 20 times, came home and have been writing ever [...]
I did not do well this weekend. I took 58th in the road race and I did not finish the crit.
We arrived in Fort Collins Colorado Friday night at Luke’s uncle’s house. We got in at around 10:00 pm after picking up our race numbers and scouting (in the car) what we thought [...]
You can see the hurt on my face here.
And here’s the explanation: a useless upper body.
Victory!! kind of.
Gilad, make my arms go AWAY!
Collegiate nationals are coming up this Saturday. Lisa, Orion, David K, Peter, Takuya, and myself are leaving on Friday afternoon and arriving in Fort Collins Colorado, elevation 5,000 feet. The elevation is going to be a disadvantage for us, but I’ve been looking at a picture of the Himalayas every night, which should [...]
