June already...

As most of you know it is now June, and that means 5 weeks until I fly home. I can't believe it's already here, but not yet. There are still plenty of races to do and plenty more experiences for me just waiting.

I skipped out on the racing this weekend. Since I was sick last week we decided that it would be in my best interest to sit this one out. Grudgingly I rolled with the team to the start with a new kid and another teammate who was getting over being sick too. We rode the course, and then watched 3 laps before we got so frustrated because we weren't in the action we had to leave. It's a funny thing even though it hurts so bad I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but in that race right there. I hate sitting out when I have teammates in the fight (I know there's the Marine in me).

I race again on Wednesday, and (if I can swing it) again the next day. I really want to get another crit in here. I just want to do more UCIs and that means I need to start finishing UCIs and then actually doing well. I'm getting there, but it's kind of slow. It's hard to get better at doing them if you only do a few here and there. I know it'll come, but it still sucks not being the first choice for those races.

Time to sit back and relax, tomorrow is another day filled with training, resting, a shop run, and then more resting. Ahh the life of a pro sportsman. I so want this to be my job.
