Sunshine and Light

Ahhhhhhh....

It was a really nice weekend, I'm finally starting to feel a bit caught up on my lounging. I'm feeling a bit like the basset hound that was seen rushing down the hall because he was late for his nap. But Chris was off for the Stoopid 50, and the dogs seemed to agree with me that some active ball playing in the morning meant that we could lounge for the rest of the day on Saturday and Sunday. So I polished of the Battlestar Galactica season 2.5 (with the wrong Starbuck, sorry Ambrose!), and got through not quite 2 disks of Grey's Anatomy. While my husband mountain biked. Yup, his tuckus is getting smaller, while I could feel my rear end growing even as we spoke. Whatever. For now I'm content with the concept of paying severely after the baby is born. As long as Chris is ok with that, short term.

Overall the race report from Chris was that he had a lot of fun hanging with Flyin' Ryan (who, unfortunately, was grounded due to back troubles), and the DCCoD Saturday night. Then Sunday the weather was awesome, and he seemed to enjoy the trails. Muchas Gracias to Ryan's family and Monkey for feeding (woohoo!) Chris, especially at the top of the run up. Other than a pretty spectacular sounding endo early on which gave him a bit of road rash and cracked his bottle, it sound like things went really well.

Oh and to the guy who told Chris that he was on the wrong bike...Rule number 1 of competitive sports is don't give your competition a reason to keep living. Just a thought you may have had while you watched him ride away. Of course, that's nothing compared to the kid who walked up to a friend who's coming back after years off the bike due to a dump truck accident (as in the dump truck ran over him. With tire tracks on his hands. And a bazillion hip replacements that followed). He didn't know our friend from Adam, and at the end of the race was grousing because he chased when our friend took a flyer in one of his first races back. "I thought you were one of the fast guys, but it turns out that you're not. At all." Ouch. Watch it kid, this guy will be schooling you by the end of the season.
