Cement Legs
I MADE IT. I was so happy to see the bright and shiney faces of my teammies in Kenosha (Ja!). I think that should be the town slogan. I have to admit, I got a little sick of myself at some point during the three day journey. It reminded me A LOT of doing an Ironman. By day three, I got out of bed telling myself, “ok. Just a mere marathon now. I can do this.”.
Superweek is just good stuff. I say this all the time, but it’s quality, safe, good racing. I had a decent day, as it was more of a road race day. I was assigned ‘Jenette duty’, as part of the course covered this bone-crushing section of crap (Jenette already has some crushed-ish bones in her back so we knew it was gonna sting). She was a maniac, though, and I managed to come back from the dead more times than I can count. In the last 1km, I drove it to keep her safe and sound and she sealed the deal with a solid 3rd place. After three days, she’s in 2nd place overall. I’m pretty thrilled. I’m also thrilled that I was able to even pedal after sitting in the car motionless for all those hours. Right when I got to Kenosha, I jumped on the velodrome and tried to blast some of the cement out of there, not really sure what to expect. If nothing else, it was good for my head.
More reports as they develop.
