boo!

happy halloween! four days until the iceman! i think i'm ready. if not, then that'll just be a good excuse to drink more after the race. looking forward to the race and the post-race parties. looks like i may have a little friendly competition going on w/ my roommate, macromius. we're in the same age class so we'll be racing against each other. i think that if he loses, he needs to parade around the loading dock in tom's man-thong. now that would be a wager!

i can't believe how excited i am for this race. i must be thinking about it WAY too much because i've dreamt about it the past two nights. i imagine i won't be sleeping too much on fri. night. the only other 2 races i've done this year were yankee tt and 12 hrs. of addison mud. i was pretty excited about yankee even though i wasn't in very good shape and the rain the week before addison definitely put a damper on things. so, this will be my one BIG race of the year so i'll give it my all. even though my goal of 2:05 isn't great, i need to be realistic. if i actually trained and rode this summer, i'd definitely be under 2 hrs. oh well, i have to go with what i've got. it ain't much, but it'll do the trick! ;-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASON!!!
