ok, i don't know if this is going to work.
i just got back from rolf's team bonding/strategy meeting. he didn't show up.
highlights from the meeting include me getting chewed out pretty good for not promoting a team time trial for conference, so i promised to look into it. also seeing andy cook ride up on his motorcycle was pretty cool and funny too - it's big. mmm, that's about it.
ok, so to finish up, i'll just tell one short cycling story. it harkens back to the early days of the velodrome, it was 1992, so i must have been eight. dad hauled me and my older brother out there for the olympic trials. this local flanders rider named bjorn carlson was racing, boy we were excited because he smoked everyone in the qualifier and won it. i thought he had the olympic team made. i didn't understand that the qualifier was pretty pointless. anyway in the final john fry (shaklee) and robbie ventura (future postal service) got in a break and fry was doing all the work so the crowd was totally into him, but ventura would come around every time for the points. i think ventura won but i'm not sure. i don't think i really cared that much at the time. bjorn took 8th or something, i don't remember exactly. incedently, I think he might have the track record in the pursuit - not sure, might be like a 4:48 or something.
finally, like every year, i think that this year we should all be fast at the track, that should be our goal.
now i need to grade some papers,

yay ed! i think you should all be fast at the track too. then i'll have winners to cheer for while covertly drinking beer in the stands.
i'll cheer for y'all if you're losers too. while covertly drinking beer.
