MCM is a go.

'Cross racing, bro.

Am I in first? Or am I in last? You'll never know!

I realized during this brief 30 minutes of atomic pain that, while cyclocross racing, your bike chain is either in 1 of 2 positions - Dropped, or in the process of being dropped. Its a downward spiral of frustrating agony as tattooed bike shop mechanics who look like they had 3 too many cases of PBR roll right on by as you slip in your personal puddle of tears while bending over to connect the gears again. Of course, they could easily kick my ass with one finger because, alas, I am a fragile mistake of a triathlete. Pathetic really, and for that I should be shamed for all eternity. Or just offered a bottle of MD 20/20. Your decision (choose wisely).

Bottom line: 'cross racing is some sweet stuff, no matter what goes wrong/right.

Back, maybe?

Ok, I feel the urge to write more updates but just never get around to it...thinking about focusing more on quantity than quality - and pictures. Everyone loves pictures, well, maybe not Britney Spears.

Currently tapering for the Marine Corps Marathon, my final 20 miler/new-ish running kicks caused some nasty bone cyst/bruises on the 'ol ankles. Switched back to an older pair, and bought a NEW pair but different brand of shoe. So far so good, and hopefully all will be golden again come Oct. 28.

MTB ride, Beer and Brats, a couple short runs, and my first 'Cross race look to be consuming the upcoming weekend. Looks to be a good one. Pray for some fall temps already!
