Deep in the Gila Cliff Dwellings
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - Race Reports
Today I learned an alternative to the "That's what she said" joke. It's "Girls tell me that all the time." This way it's clear that multiple girls have said it to you and that they've said it repeatedly. Cool Huh?

Also today, I raced the first stage of the Tour of the Gila and it was hard. I spent the first 2 hours covering attacks and trying to get in a break. I can't count how many times I exploded trying to follow a move. I kept looking down at the clock surprised nothing had gone yet and wishing it would.

I was toast after all that attacking and chasing. That and the altitude pretty much sent me backwards on the final climb. I finished 36th, 3:42 back. But only 2 minutes behind Lance.

How was it racing with the Lance Armstrong? Well, one time he stole my wheel and then adjusted his shorts right in front of me. How cool is that?

Tomorrow should have a little more order to it, but I'm sure it will still be hard.

Came home and found 2 Sea Otter Jerseys at my door. Excited 'till I saw they were the "freeride" cut. eBay?

Not sure what to make of this headline. Should I be flattered or shattered?
