Often people ask what various sponsors actually are. Any questions

here?

When you’re feeling sick there is no place like home.   Despite the fact that I’m flying the LOOOONNG way to Greenville, a sequence of flights running Paris-Frankfurt-DC-Denver, Denver-Philly-Greenville, rather than simply Paris-Philly-Greenville along with the others, I’m happy to be home.  Appointments tomorrow to Kevin Reichlin, Chiro-Extraordinaire, and Ting Zhang, Kevin’s accupuncture equivalent, will hopefully help speed up the healing and get the body back in action for this weekend’s USPRO nats.  I take off Tuesday, have two days there before the TT and then another day before Sunday’s road race.  For now however the to do list consists of one item: sleep….for a long time.

No, summer just a little longer would be nice…

Going home. Tomorrow. Good thing.  Sick. 

Poitou-Charentes started out well.  The legs came around after a few tough races and I managed to sneak into a move of guys on the second stage that the race would be decided amongst.   Went for a jump of the group 1k to go, held off to 100 meters.  Finished last in the group.  Good times.  The next day was chill.  Then that night I joined the club of sick guys on the team and started going downhill.  The AM TT drove it well into the lungs, feelin’ good.  Coughed up some good chunks of bloody flem.  MMM.  The afternoon was survival, but made it in, 3 seconds out of the top 10.  I love being 4th, 6th, 11th, 16th, etc…

Homeward bound now.  A day at home and then off for Nats.  Hopefully a few days of f-all will get the body back in action.

Congrats to Ryan and Kat on their wedding day!  Wish I were there with you guys.  Cheers!
