hey. day 2 of nats is done. today was a great day. things started out at 6:00 am goinmg to woman race. team members present - ed, brain, cornbread (andy cook), jameson, steph, kari, maria. we are currently in 18th place overall i think after the team time trial and road race. crit is tomorrow. we are planning on coming from behind to win it all tomorrow.

highlights
kari = 27th, steph = 35th
pushing two beds together to make one super bed
freaking the girls out with high speed stripping
jizz-bees
the brain
that crazy coach from penn state with the ridiculous questions
we beat KU (pronounced KOO) and Army in the TTT

lowlights
- i was 30 minutes away from brain and crew with the trailer keys when they arrived at the trailer preparing to unload bikes and warmup - needless to say they didn't get a warmup)
- i probably broke my pinky finger when a trainer closed on it (that is why my spelling is bad)
- brain broke a chain at the feed and dropped out 30 miles later
- 3 miles of gravel on course
- andy cook flatted twice and dropped out after about 70 miles
- brain smacked my balls real hard and my stomach hurt a long time
- finn from olaf crashed and has a partially collapsed lung and concussion
- brandon fm olaf had a super fast heartrate problem
- jake from olaf flatted twice
- somebody shaved in the shower and now the water pools up in the tub
- 18 cent razors are not worth the bleeding they cause

right now we are really hoping that mark smelser rides out to the start line tomorrow on his magna glacier point,which is equipped with a fire extinguisher that is filled with flour, and rigged to two exhaust ports connected to the seat stays to shoot out flour at high velocity and possibly to be lit on fire. it should be an amazing show. we are all crossing our fingers down here.

no thinks-hes-pro sightings yet either.
