Race: Mstrs 35+ 4

Max. Speed: 45.9 (polar might be a little weird...ya think!)

Finish: Alive!
As you might gather this race was unnecessarily rough. I would have though after about 3 or 4 near misses guys would have allowed more space going through the "mild" chicane, but that was not the case. I have now coined a adjective for racers that want to make his/her on line in a pack that is convergent with others. This type of racer will now be known as the "Creative" racer and should not be used in the positive term. You will know this racer immediately as he/she will "Create" a new line in the middle of the pack that nobody else is using.
So the pre-race planning was that I was to be the sprinter and that Rich would get me to the bridge and I'd unleash my fury. So for most of the race the plan was to stay in the top 20 which was pretty good for the most part with the occasional adjustment to save of ones hide. Twice down the inside of the chicane and the quick adjustment found me back to 50~60 spots back.
Quite a few times I used Rich and John to get myself back up to the front to stay safe. A few times I had to get up there myself and do a bum rush up in the wind. Going into Lap 3 I see Rich moving up the left about 4 lengths ahead and said theirs my ride. Quick acceleration and I’m on his wheel. Things are looking good. Before turn 1 I'm forced onto the Botdots and I'm loosing position trying to get off those to avoid a flat. Coming out of that turn going into the little adjustment to the left I've lost his wheel and I'm about 3 lengths back. No problem I'll catch him before the next hard right. I'm on the left of the nasty little chicane and I hear the mayhem begin, Ah crap! I give a quick look to the left to make room, no luck I'm blocked, time to brace! noise getting louder and closer. The guy to the right of me is coming over and not in a good way, He's leaned over and my next thought is hit the gas to get ahead of the inevitable then bang his head hits my hip, next thought is stay on the gas and hope his bike doesn't grab anything on mine. I felt a quick tug on my bike but I'm still up, Phew! OH OH no chain, hand up to signal those behind to go around. I reach down flip the chain back on thinking game over. Dave rolls by and we get back to the pack for the neutral lap. So my thinking is another lap of cycling verse of Talladega? Do I go up to the front or play it safe finish the race at the back get home in one piece and take on the bathroom remodeling job sans injuries.
Surprisingly we go right to the Bell lap. I'm about 6 rows back and I see DD jump to the front, I follow suit and get on his wheel my plan at that point is to streatch it out, hop wheels to the finish, good if there are wheels willing to continually move forward, bad if there aren't. I figure if Dave can get us through turn one in good shape I'll get through this in one piece. We hit that turn doing about 28, DD blows up shortly after, I then see Peter from 3rd Pillar jumping from Dave’s right, good another wheel. But I've got to jump from Dave’s left. Big old jump and I'm on Peter’s wheel, what a beast! We’re now at 31/32! But what the hell, my legs feel good but why do I feel like I'm dragging an anchor? Peter is throwing down some serious speed. I’m thinking man he's not going to get us to the straight we’re still on the back side. That animal pulled right up through the sweeper, and nobody wants to come through...duh the sprint is just around the next corner, nobody is coming through.

Even so My legs were on fire! I pull out nothing left and finish safely at the back.
Later after talking about the race with a few others I lifted my bike and it made a clunk, what the …..My rear QR came loose I finished the race with a loose rear wheel, probably explains the lingering burning rubber smell. I just thought that was left-over from the crash. Good thing I didn’t make it to the sprint I would have dislodged my rear wheel and that would have been a whole new ball game! Crash aside I think it would have been a favorable finish but that’s racing.

Six Degrees in HD or High Depression.
So today at work I was making some HD files for a VOD server the programming I was converting was National Geographic Channels "SIX Degrees". Real interesting programming on Global warming.........and Real Depressing. It's amazing what we are doing to our planet. Next week it's the commuter train!
Little by little I've been trying to make a difference where I can, CFL bulbs instead of Incandescent bulbs, timers on anything, driving slower, renewable resources etc.
But after reading the news WTF can one person do? It's like spitting into the ocean. Check out this story...http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/11/business/worldbusiness/11chinacoal.html?ex=1307678400en=e9ac1f6255a24fd8ei=5088partner=rssnytemc=rss
I mean really we can point the fingers at everybody else but to do that with a clear mind, you have clean your own house!
Some my observations on the program that were hypocritical, other observations, and possible
solutions.
SIX Degrees documentary
Problem: Scientists studying the effects of green house gases using snowmobiles going
out on the glaciers.
Solution: Why not use Dog sleds? Specially those poor pups you noted that were
Unemployed due to melting of the ice flows.
Hamburgers
Problem: I can't quote verbatim but basically the methane produced by cattle accounts
for more that 5 times of greenhouse gases than that of carbon dioxide pound
per pound.
Solution: Walk you fat butt down to the burger joint.
This leads me to another observation. Obesity!
Human Carbon footprint and subcategories
Problem: Estimation is 4.6 lbs per day now multiply that for the world population
6,602,224,175 (July 2007 est.) that's 30.73 billion pounds of waste per day.
Solution: Now make your little difference on that and eat healthy proportions, go pick those
Soda cans out of the trash and move them to the recycle bin. Find other ways to
Recycle, and if you want to eat a freaking burger offset your Carbon footprint and
walk you butt down to the burger joint.
Sub-cat
Problem: Obesity...COME ON PEOPLE! Gives a new meaning to "eating one out of house and home" should change it to "eating us out of Home and Planet!"
Solution: Find your BMR "Basil Metabolic Rate" what your body "needs!" to maintain a
healthy weight. I'm an active 45 yrsold male, 197lbs, 6'1" my BMR is
1921 Calories/day to maintain my current weight.
Problem: Why does a man/woman family of 3 or 4 that doesn't drive in the snow go
off-road to camp need a 10 mpg SUV? Really! Nothing worse than seeing a single
driver in a BUS aka SUV that 20 years ago would have been shuttling special needs
children to school.
Solution: Need something big for the weekend trip, Rent an SUV or leave the beast in the
driveway and drive the smaller car when it's just you! Kids need to get to soccer
practice 10 blocks down the road, or get to school 5 blocks down the road?
How's about a bicycle? OK so we're worried about the creeps along the way. That's
my next observation.
Problem: Pedophiles, Drug dealers that make it unsafe for our children to walk anywhere
or play in their own front yard.
Solution: Reduce the human carbon footprint ;)
So I could go on and on with this topic about how we are destroying our planet because of this or that. Humorous or not my approach, offensive or not, we need to do as much as we can and influence others to change the course we're sendingthis planet down.
Ya I know what little can I do, it's just spit in a bucket. Well if enough people spit in that bucket we can douse a fire out!
I heard a real stupid quote, "The Earth isn't going to survive, if we don't do something!" Well that's not entirely true. Earth will go on...........but with out us!

Hanford Criterium,Stupid is as stupid does or Hells Bells
OK my take on events. Quite Obvious I mucked up the countdown to the Finale......did I mention math wasn't my favorite subject in Skool?
Any who it basically the Mastrs 35+ 4/5 came down to letting others think for me when they came in. My bad, My Fault. I had a plan come lap 5 when I got myself into a tasty position about 6 from the front. I had spent the race in whole tucked in about 20~30th looking to stay outta trouble like the crash I got caught behind in the E4/5. Only one time during the race did I go to the front and Pull. It was getting laxed and dangerous So I zoomed up to the front and stretched the field out for a lap. after that Lap 10 came and I moved into the top 10~15, At lap 5 I moved up to the top 5~10 positions and was ready to move to position 2 when we hit the back stretch. About somewhere into Lap 3 Xeno moved up and gave me his wheel, then going into Lap 2 Rich appeared. I was thinking Man this can't be true, it can't get any better than this. We're heading across the S/F line (OH wait did I mention all the Freaking Bells that Toyota United handed out. Those Damn bells were rattling the whole race.) At that Point I saw the 1 lap card and that was the nail in the Coffen. Bells the #1 card and I'm thinking this is it. My problem was that I let my mates down by not controlling their pace as we were in the front too early and I stopped thinking for myself. We're heading into the turny section and Rich had had just about enough and pulled off at turn 6, I'm now thinking this is it, Xeno takes us around turn seven still keeping a lively pace and he pops about 150 before the last two turns before the S/F straight. I figure make these sons a behives hurt and I ramp it up on my 13 then hit the straight and jump to my 11 in full tilt boogy. Would have been great if it were actually the bell lap but who could tell? can't hear the announcer, can't hear the real bell...... Oh and did I mention I stopped thinking for myself at Lap 2?
ARGH! But wait it gets better, to punctuate it I punch the sky at the end of the straight.......
What a Jackass! All in All it was kind of funny how I punctuated it with a fist punch at the end of the straight, The real funky thing was that night before the race I was using visualization for the race and one of those visions was Don't pull a Zabel at the finish, probably why I put in such a ferocious sprint.......... oh freaking well!
Had I known how badly I messed this up I should have kept going as I had probably a good 5~7 second gap on the group and should have tried and regain what little dignity I had left.
OK now for the silver lining.
Prior to this race I was thinking what the hell am I racing for? no real showings other than some good placing in CX. I'm competitive by nature but a bit too timid in a shoulder to shoulder race as I don't want to kill someone due to my brick wall build compared to my compatriots. Seriously considering this to be my last year at racing. Yesterday that Changed.
Here's what I got out of it.
> I had Plenty of Gas left in the Tank leading up to the sprint. Now I know I got what it takes
to finish off a crit
> I had great position in the final 5, I know I can get myself where I need to be.
> I basically went stupid and stopped thinking for myself. I need to Maintain my plan, stay smart, and not give up the control to my teammates. Communication!
> Even though it was a Faux finish the feeling of Ecstasy was great! I want that feeling for real
and I'm gonna get it! AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!
Mama Always said stupid is as stupid does.
But if you can't be honest with yourself, awknowledge your short comings and mistakes you'll only fool yourself. If you denie what has happened and don't learn or grow from the experience you'll never improve.
To my teammates there at Hanford my sincere Apologies for pulling such a bonehead move and causing embarrassment to the team.
I've got to get out and work on my math skills

Harden the F-up
It's 7:28 am I'm enjoying my 3rd cup of coffee and I'm contemplating the posibility of getting out for a ride when it clears up a bit when my cell phone rings. Who the heck is that but mr. "I don't ride when it's raining" Dave Dalton. In his sumwhat subdued NY accent I hear
DD: Hey! whadya doin...You comin out?
Me: Ah ya I was thinking when it drys out a bit, just finishing my 3rd cup here.
DD: well get yourself together and get over here we're leaving at 8.
Me: Ah OK I might be a little late, It was about that time I look down at the wristband I had just purchased for motivation "Harden the F!%K up" From Stuart O'Grady's website I just relized I wasn't being very HTFU! OK I'm there!
So I quickly toss some riding closes on and the balance into my ride bag and head out for what was going to be a cold, wet, Windy ride...and Hilly.
So we head out with a group of 6 of the usual characters, Damn I forgot my booties oh well you can only get so wet. At least the rain let up and it was mostly road splash getting into my shoes. After a while you just get used to it.
Well we he a junction and some looking for Superbowl Sunday and another buddy not feeling his oats 2 peel off and we are now 4. So off to Patterson Pass Rd. I can only imagine what is going to be like on the way back going up Old Altamont Pass into a head wind.
So up the climb we go......did I mention I'm not a climber. But all in all I was feeling OK must have been that 25~30 mph tailwind. We regroup at the top and down we go heading into the central valley, make our turn on to Mtn House and back towards Ol'Altamont Rd. So we're trying to make some head way but the wind was really cutting into our Speed.
I slid off the back as I just couldn't move forward, It was about 2 miles up the rd I decided to take off the dragchute like Raincape as I was feeling like crap. Suddenly I felt like a new man and off I go. At the first part of the day I was ok during the climb I felt like crap. But heading up Highland I felt pretty strong. Set a pretty good pace up the short climb. So we hit the mid sprint zone and it doesn't look like anyone is going for it so I back off a bit but set a a low gear so I can make a jump if needed.....then I catch glimps of a shadow over my left and it's Dave making a go of it. No such luck Dave it's my hill! and Off I go with a good jump. I figure what the hell lets make a break for it and see if they'll chase me down. I guess all the wind took it's toll on everybody. I'm not sure if it's I'm a strong rider or the guys never want to chase. After a huge effort I made it to the bridge again with a good 30~40 sec Gap.
So we all limp back to the the coffee shop for some hot Joe good conversation then it was time to pack it up get home for a Hot shouwer and some soup.
I was totally glad Dave called and got me out with the guys, it's been a while and was a great yet wet/cold day or riding. Guess I put in some points for HTFU.
I need more days like this Snelling is just around the corner and I really want to do well in that race.

Finally a Muddy Day for CX
So I got out for a CX race yesterday and is was muddy! So I started the morning out thinking I wasn't gonna make it. The Night before my stomach was a little upset, when the alarm went off in the morning I was still a little under the weather but not bad. I figured if I could Get my daugheter out the door I'm good to go. So Car packed and off we go. Gotta hand it to her she's a trooper once you get her going.
Looked like it was gonna be a good day one quick trip around the course and the Legs were feeling a bit hollow. I'm here lets race. So lined up and off we go! first set of barriers and I'm in 6th Position this looks good. just after the barrier and my chain Brakes! DAMN! then something cool happens a CX racer warming up for his race shouts out, What Peddles! I shout back Crank Brothers! He's all "Use my bike!" So I run over with my bike about 20 Meters up the course and he hands me his real Nice LaPierre adn off I go, He shouts he'll try to get my chain on.
So about 2 laps later there he is with my bike ready to go......too Bad I was really liking his bike. At first I thought man he's tall but after a bit I was real comfortable with it. Big debt of gratitude to John! floks that's the brotherhood of Cyclocross. We're all out there to Race but more so to have a good time.
So wish I could say I made a heroic effort and Caught on and placed but I did catch a few on the way. Most important my daughter and I had a great day her watching me race and cheering, and use cheering out our friends and others.....good times and good friends.
I plan on making a few other races before the season is over, I better hurry!

Be Careful what you click for!
Wow that was interesting, I hit "next blog" button thinking I was going to make a new entry and the next thing I see is a title "Sexy Indian Photo's" note to self, don't do that again!
Funny when you do something randon how is sparks memories of days past. While working for a Broadcast Integration Group I was in the proposal department putting together....duh proposals. This was during the infantcy of the internet and the porn peddlers were making great use of the information age.
Well we used the internet for Manufacturers pages to pull down product info to build Proposals. So I'm looking for Teleconferencing equipment and I get a wild idea.....Hey what if I type in "teleconference.com", This has got to lead me to the right stuff?
BANG! all the pop-up porn you never want to show up on a your work computer, it was like Captain Kirk opening the overhead cabinet in "Trouble with Tribbles"
(Disclaimer here, I'm 40+ yearsold I got over that stuff when I was twelve, I've just got a good memory for useless information)
So there I am trying to close all those pop-ups as my Monitor is facing the the main walkthrough area in the office, those things JUST WOULDN'T STOP! I'm gonna get fired I worse yet Therapy! I finally had to hit power button to stop the insanity. Shish!
OK I said be prepared for Randomness
Back to writting what I intended

(Disclaimer here, I'm 40+ yearsold I got over that stuff when I was twelve, I've just got a good memory for useless information)
So there I am trying to close all those pop-ups as my Monitor is facing the the main walkthrough area in the office, those things JUST WOULDN'T STOP! I'm gonna get fired I worse yet Therapy! I finally had to hit power button to stop the insanity. Shish!
OK I said be prepared for Randomness
Back to writting what I intended
