Tron Race

We're just about one week away from this and it's been taking up a good portion of my thought process lately. Last-minute preparations (the only kind I know of) are in full swing as DP and I keep brainstorming ideas. I'm completely convinced that if we had another three months to plan this we would use that time to good effect making this an unforgettably immersive experience for everybody. As it is, I think we'll make it come together just fine. We're expecting a pretty good turnout, so if you're reading this you should definitely come. It's guaranteed to involve some unusual elements never before seen in a race.

So for the next week or so I'll be stressing to the max. So many things have come in the way of training this year it's not even funny. Between traveling, knee problems, car problems, Cognition, traveling, and all the other things that come up in the course of normal life, I haven't been riding like I had hoped. After road season deteriorated on me and now with cross season looming just around the corner I'm worried that I won't have much fitness at the outset, but I guess we'll see. You race with the fitness you have, and not the fitness you think you should have. Or something Rumsfeld-esque like that.

In other news, Kelly and I have just returned from an amazing few days spent in South Dakota, primarily in the Black Hills with a stopover in the Badlands. Roadside attractions by the dozen, camping, decompressing.
