I’ll be missing another race because I didn’t let my body get over this cold. Because of my poor judgment, what should have been a four day cold has turned into a two and a half week ordeal. My cold started back a few days before Cherry Pie. If I hadn’t done that race, I [...]

People are STUPID
Why, you ask? Because. They just are. Look around you and you’ll see almost nothing but STUPIDNESS. Cars, houses, roads, buildings, and most people’s thoughts. They’re all terrible. Why do we live in a world like this? Why do we choose to have things this way? There is no destiny. The entire history of time [...]

Kennettron has ear ache.
I have an ear ache and a cold. So I might just sit in the pack tomorrow. I also need a ride down to the race in the morning if anyone has room. I hate being sick. I would cut off my left pinky toe with a blunt rock and eat it right now if [...]

Second of all, I have to thank my teammate Chris Swan for an amazing lead out and support today in an effort to help get me some upgrade points.
Third of all, [...]

I….I…I DID IT!!!
This has been my greatest victory to date. And may be the greatest victory I’ll ever have. And all before the race season even began! Last night I started getting a sore throat. I had nightmares all night about getting sick. When I woke up this morning, my throat was [...]

The Wait
I’ve been waiting and busing tables at a retirement home in Sherwood this past week (my new job). I start at 3pm and end at 9pm. I begin preparing the kitchen and dining room for dinner at 5 and finish up with the dishes and re-setting the tables for the next morning’s breakfast. [...]

Training Update
I’ve completed three weeks in a row of good training and am smack dab in the middle of an easier week. Although today (Wednesday) wasn’t easy. The goal was to do 8 sets of 7.5 minute intervals at high threshold pace. I did one good one and three crappy ones before I turned in, deciding [...]

Kennett’s favorite pro riders
Here is a list of my favorite pro riders, not in any particular order and not with any particular set of criteria. These guys are just way bad-ass in some way or another.
Jeff Louder of BMC–I like his name. Plus I just like BMC in general because they’re a continental US team competing [...]
