Profound pre-dawn thoughts

It's been pouring all night. I woke up several times wondering why my committment to a teammate is overriding my sanity. Why am I waking up at dawn to race in the endless rain?


So here I sit at 6:45am, sipping a latte, munching on steel cut oats (cut with quinoa and bran flakes...god we're so berkeley!), and reading the Saturday Chronicle. The Datebook section has an article on a course being taught in San Jose this weekend.


Considering that in addition to crits, men are being hung by their skin this weekend, I guess our hobbies really aren't that bad. Even in the rain... Good lord!

    cool Ali! 3rd's great!

    3rd deserves a pie for racing in the rain i think.

    If seventeenth made my day, I can't imagine what I'd do with third -- great job!

    I saw that article on SFGate this morning, & it made me feel a lot better about the pain I was about to go through. Great day for a "suck it up" article like that ;).
