Hottest day ever

I had the day off today and after a few hour stint of laziness at home i decided to get on the bike and ride to cyclelife to work-out. it was about 97 degrees when i left the house at 3pm, and i swear you could literally bottle the moisture out of the air it was so thick. i have never felt humidity like that before, not even in Oklahoma...(andrew). it wouldn't have been so bad if i hadn't had a bad tube, and had to re-pump it over and over again the way out there. oh well.

i just decided that i am gonna race the Tour De Millsbrook in PA this weekend. its a 3-4 three stage race over two days. pretty typical, but the first ive seen run ITT then crit on day one, and the RR on day two. this will probably be my last race of the season and hopefully one more opportunity to get more points for my upgrade. it should be fun and a nice retreat for me and sam to see some country side.

Sam is officially teaching 2 indoor cycling sessions a week now. im so excited for her; it will be the first time she gets to use her certification, which helped her get this job. so that should be an exciting new adventure for her at work. im looking forward to the off season, not only will i get to improve some weaknesses and train for next year, but i get so see her so much more than i normally do because of work. exciting times.

tomorrow i have to go back to work. i really hate my job, but i guess it pays the bills, and it is only 3 more years. oh well.. i am still blessed, and im sure ill look back at some point and learn something out of all of this. peace and love
