yo.

just back from kansas and the completion of the NCCCCCCCC collegiate season. we won all the team stuff again this year; that's five in a row now for the overall conference championships. brain was second in the conference overall, second in the RR this weekend, and second in the crit. i guess he's making it a habit. i was tenth in the crit today, and dropped out of the road race yesterday cause my knee is all messed up. we won the conference team time trial this weekend too. it was super fun, andy cook is turning into one incrediblely strong rider. we averaged almost 29 mph over the 15 miles mostly because of him. it was fast. and yes, for some reason i'm excited about TTTs.

anyhoo, highlights from the weekend include both the "early" van and "late" deciding to moon each other at the same time, mark smelser playing a joke on us by locking us in his house and leaving for the crit course, rocking out to the top gun soundtrack, and of course the staple of manhattan kansas dining - gumby's.

it looks like we going to go to nationals this year, which should be pretty fun. i think both the men and women could turn in decent team time trial rides. i think our women could podium perhaps.
