Don't read this, its depressing and lame.
Really this is about the bike and the cyclocross season.
I get into Cyclocross by helping build a track for SBR Utah and am so stoked to race, I even ordered a new cyclocross bike... it didnt get here until the third race... no worries, i was ready to race it now. I had raced the first two on the mt bike and that was fine but i wanted a new experience... i did a pre ride a few days before on the new bike. I liked it. a lot.
Tuesday roles around and it is race day!!! that course is all set up and i take my warm up laps.. i flat.. well, i had cafe latex in the tubes, i should be fine.... well, Cafe latex works like pissing in your tire, you feel good while doing it and thats about it. NO RACE FOR ME!!!
now the next week rolls around and i have ridden the bike on some mt trails and i love it. A LOT!!! so i am all sorts of stoked on racing, just some things to clean up at work before the whole shebang that goes along with setting up the race and racing... #$&*$! #$%^ %$@&$$! &#**! I hurt my knee digging a trench. lame!
it hurts a lot, but i am not going to let that keep me from racing. I race. I race good. I get the lead into the Dirty South (trust me this is the best thing you can do if you want to see and not breath in the toxic waste of moondust that was deposited there by Sadam himself). I get passed in far east but i am not too worried, i turn it on in the end more than up front, something about never warming up. I am feeling great, breathing is fine, legs are strong and my knee is in no pain... hell yes!
2nd place into the Run up... i dismount and there it is... the knee, the start of the end, the everything going great... now it sucks!
I get to the top and see 6 racers off and riding. i catch three of them, I still feel great. the knee doesnt hurt on the bike... the run up... the WALK up...the CRAWL UP... it just kept getting worse. I continued to catch peeps on the bike and then get passed right back on the F$%* up.
To my knee, i love you! now stop hurting!
over all I have been in great shape and now that I am so excited about Cross i cant even put up a fight. I cant even ride for fun. overall fitness going down the toilet.
It was good, now it sucks!
did i mention i am dealing with a kidney stone that has been plaguing me since july and the PC 50. The kidney Stone was never Great... it has always just sucked.
