Last Saturday I decided that I could handle a 45 minute effort, so I raced the Snowbird Hill Climb. I am glad that I did because I felt much better than I have in a long time. I love that climb and to have a race up it is just perfect for me. Sayoko is back in town for school, so she was there for extra motivation. I needed that to beat Norm. There is only one thing about that race that I really don't understand and that is the awards. This year the winner of the pro race got exactly the same thing as the winner of the cat. 5s. WTF? Oh well, Rob is happy. On a side note, if you know Cameron Hoffman could you please tell him to upgrade Rob Squire to a cat 3? It is crazy to make a kid who was 23rd at world championships, is the current US National Champion, and is ranked #1 in the nation race cat 5s. Even if it is on the mountain bike. It isn't fair to the other cat 5s, plus it is a waste of his time. OK I'm done ranting and am off topic. So because I felt better after Snowbird I decided to go on a five hour MTB ride to try and get myself back in shape for the Brianhead national. I felt dead after about an hour. I feel like I have finally won the battle against my illness, but now I have to heal my wounded and repair my infrastructure. I don't think that all the necessary repairs will be finished by Brianhead, however I should be back come cross season. Maybe I will go try and set a record up Clarks, that's right Bart. I'm coming.

Yeah! Go after the Clark's TT record. On your cross bike if you like.
Use the MTB, the cross bike will be faster but not comparable, no doubt you will crush it!
We should go down and race it head to head on the cross bikes, that would fun!
