Sunday-
Went to the Neshanminy race. Not too much to report here. Got a good start, employeed my strategy well, move into the top 10, riding well. Started the third lap, took a gu, which doesn’t usually settle well in my stomach, Attacked earlier in the lap than I should have. I immediately puke up a little GU, which is kinda like dry heaving a bit. So with a lap and a quarter to go I cracked hard. Swami Scott was on the cell with my internet friend Chris, and I heard him say, “here comes fatmarc, he’s not looking too good.” I should have kept my composure a little better, I should have drank some Gatorade and try to get it together. I had just made contact with Kurt V for like the 4th time in the race, and contemplated passing when I died. Like I said, I should have kept my composure, I should have drank more Gatorade, and gutted it out, but I didn’t I pulled up with a lap to go.
I fing hate dnfing, and this year I have 2 of them, although FC wasn’t really my fault. Hats off to Guys for putting on a nice event. Thanks to the leg marking nazi who marked my leg on the fing line. It’s really nice and pussey right now. Swollen too. I won’t have to worry about getting marked at Hershey because it will still be there. I’m seriously gonna get a fucking doctor’s note so I don’t have to do this anymore. My leg is all swollen abd broken out where their wrote the little V. No matter what Big Bush says about me having a Tattoo on my leg, that ink from the pen totally jams my leg up. In fact, I probably would have finished today, if I didn’t have magic marker ink flowing through my blood.
Spot Paul lead the way for the Spot Whores today taking 5th place in the SS class, Fitzy was experimenting with a QR on the back of the bike, and it sounds like it didn’t work out so great, he finished up as we were getting ready to go out. Matt run Forrest was in the top 5ish of the 30-34 expert race when he flatted on the fourth lap and called it a day. Buddy was in the top 20ish of the 35-45 expert race when he stacked it and aggravated his endo board injury. Not the best day ever for the Mighty Might Spot Brand team. Yikes. We’ll do better next time I promise.
Oh well, we had a ton of fun, hell of a good weekend.

Marc sorry to hear about Spot's tough day. Markers suck but I love the smell. My grandfather (tough union steamshovel guy) once told me that bagpipes were a joke the Irish played on the Scottish, but they never got it. Even further, like the Scottish, bagpipes are great when there good, awful when they're bad. See a parallel maybe? On to Hershey homebrother.

You know I meant "he’s not looking too good” In the nicest of ways! Come to think of it, you kind of had a "I've been poisened by a sharpie and now I'm hammering around singletrack" look going!
Mark let me know if you need that Doctors note it is all yours
