CAN.. YOU... DIG IT...... out of my side, it hurts.

Proud.

I'm so Screwed

So its done. My first long distance solo event since picking up cycling last year. It didn't take long.... its also on account that nobody is available to team up with me. My group ride buddies will be there as a team, and my doubles partner is away that weekend. That leaves me... and I want to race it. I've also been debating doing a Solo event for a while just to see how far I can push myself.

So here's my chance. 

My goal is ultimately survival through100KM. Which is 10 laps. If I do laps at 45-50m a lap. I can do this. It looks like I'll have a really decent support crew so I'll be ready to ride without much issue. I also have the 24H coming next weekend. We'll see how that goes as well. I'm aiming for 5 laps in Albion.. which I am really pumped for.

Also, I think I'm going to swap out of the full rigid setup and go with a front fork. I worry way to much about that thing when I'm racing, or taking some downs and such. Its awesome don't get me wrong, but I'm going to go grab a reba XX with a remote lockout this week I think. I'll put the all mountain bike aside. I doubt I'll go anywhere or ride anything that's ever going to require it. Also... it kinda sucks cause I don't have buyers remorse over my current bike... I just want MOAR.... and I realized it last night, and then shut it down. Mebbe in 2012 or so, or something. But I'm going to stop thinking about how to do it this year. Its not really something that's required for a long time from now... possibly Trans Rockies in 2012.

So anyway back to basics. I'm actually running now too, I did 10K last night. I know surprising, but I can run... the most surprising thing is... I'm not sore.. I feel warmth in my legs, they're tired, but they're not broken, and I could probably go running again tonight. This is a good thing. I just need to get into the water now, and I can say I'm training for my Triathlon.

But I'm actually really looking forward to the grindfest that is the 8H coming up. Who knows, may lead to a 2 man 24H race....... or quite possibly a Solo 24.

.... haha, you so crazy.
