episode 131: speed kills Layla, speed kills

I think my dog Layla was on speed last night.

Seriously, either that or some kind of endurance/energy product.

KC gave me some SPIKE SHOOTER FOR EXTREME ENERGY, stuff a little while ago. I heard the stuff makes red bull like drinking milk. I remember that at Nationals watching Zach look like the worlds best popper and locker doing the robot after drinking 3 of those bad boys.

That's great, one red bull can jack me up for an entire night. KC has told me that it is so strong that some high schools in Colorado have banned it. It was awfully nice of her and Mark to get me some product, even if I'm a little scared to use it.

Layla, my dog, has developed quite a taste for endurance racing food products. Layla has also developed a habit of raiding my bag, or my friend's bags while we were out riding. She has trained herself looking for things like:

Power bars:

or CLIFF Bars:



she loves GU or energy gels:



And the cliff blocks, which are like energy gummy bears:
Which for the record Layla has never met a gummy bear or a swedish fish she didn't love:


But I digress. At 2:00am when Layla was demanding to go out, which is really unusual for her, as generally when the sun goes down, she is out cold. However, last night for some reason at 2:00 am Layla had to be outside. I groggily opened the back door and she was off like a shot out of a cannon. She began ripping around the perimeter of the yard. And she kept going, and going, and going. Let me tell you the Energizer bunny had nothing on my Layla. At 2:20 I stood on the deck just watching her in amazement as she was still full on charging, not sniffing, not you know doing her business, just running. It was at the point that I had to reel her in...

Although I could find no proof this morning. Somehow, somewhere I am convinced she got into some kind of energy bar....
Layla pleads the 5th.

May have over done it a bit this week. Legs felt awful yesterday so I took a much needed rest day, as I got out today the felt really junky for the first half hour of my ride, then started to open up just a bit. Heading out to Lodi in the morning, have a nice contengcy of Spot Brand p/b Twin Six and DCCoD brothers and sisters heading down. Should be fun. Hope to have fun, ride well. I heart Lodi Farms. I am really stoked for this weekend. Gotta pack, and even wash my bike...

stay in school.

respect.
