Miss summer but the beat goes on






So it's only been 4 months ,who's counting? I have enjoyed reading the other blogs ,face book and other ways of cathchen up.
I got sorta busy with work ,travel ,family,friends and some fitness try's and here is what I tried to do . After getting all sick and travelling to Honolulu for a week I trained a weekend with 4 days in a roll then raced at the Tour De Bozeman the week after then off to Sun Valley for mt. bike nats where I barley made the podium for 5th,dam the guys my and every other age are tuff at that level. Then it was serious training for around 6 weeks with one back pack trip mixed in for cross train and pain ,there was a little to much liquid spirits packed in so well good for training and pain control right? Off to road nats I went and did better in the crit and road race than i ever have finishing right in the front packs in both but not worthy of the podium. Road so far is my nemeses to get on the steps.
So in between and after this fitness and race escapade i scooter ed all over town for visits ,bbq, and just to much fun. the summer was fast but sweet.
Now with fall and that winter thing upon us I am tryin to adapt with out haven those lay outs in the spandex on the hill above Brennen's wave then maybe a beer where ever you can get a beer in spandex, I don't recommend so much shamie time.
I did the Butte cross at the beginning of Montana's season and did better than usual but then hit a 4 week hiatus before dabbling in Redmond,WA. with visits with Danyel and family and travelling to sea town with Julie staying like royalty at the silver cloud right next to the clink and safeco field and the pyramid brewery,now that's spoilt and i like it. So after the first cross race in a month after the cushy stay at the cloud and racing with some fast and furious 55 year olds for a bareley 2nd i traind some what more and hit the magnuson park croosy the next week around beautyfull lake washington,the corse rocked and I quit the mambie routine and got away at the end with some chippy passin and cornering and a little more gas in the tank than the wek before.Also got to see the Ivanaiter turn it loose on the cat 4 ladies,she's rocken this cross stuff. Bye for now all talk again in another 4 months.
