Fat people can pedal thier bikes real good too...sometimes

I hope everyone minded there P's and Q's last night at the Fairgrounds crit by either pissing in their cars or in the bathroom and picking up after yourself. But of course if your mom was there you were allowed to make the biggest mess since she will pick up after you.

Hare core rider of the night goes to Ezra for racing a single speed. He even won a prime by out sprinting an Flanders rider!

Sidebar on Ezra: a few years ago there was a cx single-speed CRY. Ezra would show up and put the screws to us every week. He does it in a Dale Sedgwick kind of way were he doesn't look like he's riding hard but after about three minutes of hanging on his wheel you say to yourself: "f*ck'n hell, this sumbitch is hammering."

Hats off to Ezra for an awesome ride.

Last week Dale told me that I was going to win the Fairgrounds crit. I laughed at him and said that's not possible. I hate when Dale is right. In the closing laps we took over at the front. Dale, Jens, and Pat kept things in order while Paul and I sat back and waited. Paul is riding really well and has quite a bunch kick now. So he was there as an added insurance policy for us should I not have been able to fulfill my duties as the protected rider. In the end it worked out well when I turned around at the line and he was still on my wheel finishing second. Right on.

Things I liked about the Fairgrounds Crit:
- It actually happened.
- Pre-reg is slick.
- The course.
- Agressive racing.
- Great atmosphere.

Things I did not like about the Fairgrounds Crit:
- Sketchy cat 3's.
- Sketchy cat 2's that should still be cat 3's (note to self, bring training bike next week)

Things Pat liked about the Fairgrounds crit:
- The tall girl at registration. (oh no I did'int just out him! Don't worry, he's easy to beat up)

Thought about doing B.Dog tonight. Don't think I will, need to get stuff done around the house.

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...

Back Again

 Running up hill on sand is tough, a lot of effort with little gains. That is what this past year has felt like. While I feel I have my ADHD somewhat under control, I still struggle with depression, impulsiveness, and emotional fluctuations.  I also stopped therapy. I thought for a while that I was okay and could handle life but only to find that I still need help. I’ll be meeting with a new therapist later this week and am hopeful for a fresh perspective and is someone who will hold me accountable. I feel like my last therapist was the start I needed. I was lost in how and where and what to work on. I feel I was able to get things in motion and found some direction. I confused those first few steps with being well on my way to recovery.  I’m bummed that it took me a year to gain that perspective because if I stuck with it I would actually further along in my recovery. I don’t resent or feel guilt for falling back into old routines. I would only feel guilty if I didn’t tr...

The Protector

 I struggle on the weekends. As hard as it is holding myself together during the week, at least there is routine with work and only needing to fill a few hours of nonstructured time. The weekends can be bad because without a routine, my mood swings to the more negative side. I try to find things to do, projects around the house, exercise, but without those being a requirement like work is, I slack off easily. I tend to thing everyone else is living this great life and loving every minute of the weekend with their friends or loved ones. That feels foreign to me. I spend time with my friends doing things we enjoy and spending time with my family, but in the back of my mind I always feel like a fraud and what I'm experiencing isn't real. I feel like I'm being tolerated by others.  It's not that I want something that others have, I have that, I want to be able to believe and appreciate what I have. I don't allow myself to see that. I know that I am doing that to myself,...
