ugghhh!!! what's that??

I'm sore. My piriformis is very sore. I don't think I've ever riden to the point of soreness. I've had dead legs before, but never flat out soreness. I guess Sunday's forest park crit, and my ride last night really did it to me. It's good though, lets me know I'm working.

As for the crit, talk about fun and painful all at once. I'm pretty sure that was the fastest crit I've ever done, and definitely the longest. I can tell I haven't raced since dogwood, but I feel good. Tactically I was all over the map...one bad decision after the next. Not the best way to race, but I ended up 15th. I do feel I could have been better though. I'm looking forward to Joe Martin in 2 weeks. I feel I will do very well there.

In other news...to put it mildly, lets just say it's fun to be involved in Saint Louis U athletics. I know we've been taking a beating in the papers the last couple of weeks, but with the hiring of Majerus, there is quite a buzz in the office. I'm excited to see what this hiring will do for everyone involved!! We have the Atlantic 10 championships this weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, so I'll be out of town and off the bike for a couple days. I guess I'll be on the stationary at the hotel. Oh well, not the best, but at least I won't be losing my fitness.
