First Weekend Back in NE

Well, to start things off I lost a bike race to a teenager. Yeah he might be more accomplished than me and a protege of LANCE ARMSTRONG, but hes still a child compared to me, and he beat me in a sprint! Gavin jumped before me, came around me, then I wasnt able to re-open and close his door. The Portsmouth Crit was awesome and I was legitimately beat and I am very happy that I got the opportunity to race there this past weekend. There were a lot of good riders from the local scene, and it made for a fun challenging race. I put out much higher numbers at portsmouth than I did at the USA Crit finals in Dallas. Consider that at dallas I was hiding out the whole race and at Portsmouth I was trying to make up for Richard Fries not giving me a call up, so I was riding off the front as much as I could, but for a local race it was pretty good.



I have been sitting around starbucks since 9am... chillin and interneting. I've drank two grande cups of Italian roast and a sausage breakfast sandwich. The toughest decision that I have made today was calculating what screen brightness to use to assure that I will have enough battery life to last until 3pm when I go for a bike ride with my very busy, but very close good friend Ben Coleman. If your wondering I calculated right. 2:07pm with 1:27 battery left.

I have no idea what to do with my time this fall. I could stay here in burlington doing nothing, but being with my friends, then move to Tuscon after christmas to start training for 2011 race season, or I can move back to the TMK team house in winston-salem and have free housing and a job! I know what decision I should make, but its not really the one that is going to make me the happiest. If anyone knows how I can make money in Burlington please let me know, Escort services is not an option, sorry.

My dads coming up to VT to go fishing with me tomorrow or friday. I hope his old man wisdom will help make this decision a bit more easy.
