The Alps:

Needed to get the money makers tuned so we rode to the Alps, it can be done. Enjoyed a couple of the little coffees and a day-old.

I ain't much in Hutch
Back Cracker and I tuned the monies by riding out to Hutch for the crit. I flatted on the way there, got 'er going, the the sprinkles came, then the rain. Ducked into a public golf course club house, rang up P-Cakes for the team car. Clicked off about 45 miles before that.

Pedaled around the race course for a while, got another flat, took a freebie, jumped back in and pedaled some more. After about an hour a bell rang and I pedaled a little bit faster that time around.

The squeeze and I made it home for the last 50 laps of Pocono. Happy to see the 24 where he belongs, in the garage and out of the top-ten. FedEx homie delivers the W for the first time.

Sponsorship commitments:
I'm a little lucky, my sponsorship commitments are reduced a little this week, just in time too, NVGP starts this week.

Here's what spoils my cookies:
You go to the grocery store, see that yogurt is on sale and the only ones left are the reject flavors such as Homemade apple pie. Since when does apple pie come in yogurt form? Doesn't pie come in pie form?

Race Categories:

(From the newest member of the PureJenius.net staff (who, by the way, is paid >well So I've been perusing the MCF board tonight and I still can't believe how many guys are whining about the races and race categories that promoters choose for races. I'm pretty good at whining too, so here goes: I'm a 35+ Cat 3 woman who will show up for the St. Cloud Crit and have to toe the line with Cat 1/2 guys - I don't give a shit that they're 50+, their license still says Cat 1 or 2 (and 3/4/5) and they race like Cat 1/2s. What's that you say, it's a ROY race, so we'll be scored separately? Okay cool, then I'll completely overlook the fact that the race will blow apart on about lap 1.5 and I'll spend the remainder of the race with 3 or 4 other women if I'm lucky or I'll assume the time trial position and ride around in circles by myself. Should be fun. Oh, I should shut my trap because if I think the 50+ guys are too fast and furious, I s...

Slow

My low self esteem dates back to my early childhood. I grew up in a household where I was to be seen and not heard. I was told quite often that nothing in the house was mine because I did not pay for it. I was not allowed to have an opinion or challenge the patriarch and authority. This continued through to my adult life and continued to shape how I felt about myself. I wasn't ever going to be good enough. It weighs deep with me today. I have very low self worth and self esteem. I don't feel like I belong in social situations with people who, from my own perspective, are normal. If they only knew how fragile of a person I am, it would be game over for me. It shouldn't matter to me anymore as I have proven, to myself, that I came from behind to catch up with my peer group from an educational and professional standpoint.
