goings on

ive been riding so much recently that bloggery is the last thing on my mind. its all found by using a simple math equation x hours biking= x/(x^2) hours blogging. x represents hours on a bike in a week and that little "^2" means squared. so if i ride 2 hours in a week i can blog 1/2 an hour. if i ride 10 hours a week i have 1/10 hour to blog a week. its all very simple.

anyway, to explain my lack of presence i have ridden i have averaged 90 minutes of riding a day EVERY DAY for the last two weeks, that figure includes my one day of rest in that time period. yesterday i did a century-102.1 miles to be exact. it was my first ride of that length ever, and though i went slowish, it felt great.NUUN was in full effect till it wore out, but ill attribute my great riding experience to it- until someone can prove otherwise.

over the weekend i had two collegiate road races- saturday was a crit (i placed 16th out of 55+) and sunday was a circuit race (i placed 15th out of the same number of folks). that fat kid in the pitt kit is me. i was with the main pack though in the crit, and had i known how many laps were left in the damn race i could have probably willed myself to a podiumesque finish. i felt great in both races and could have done better if the conditions were right. hopefully i can move up in the classifications in the next few weeks. road racing is kinda shitty but id still like to do well. and its great training for mtb season (i cant wait). and if i can find a pal and a shitty bike to do the muddy buddy race in ny with, i think that may be on my agenda.
