171: a quiet sunday

You know I never said I was the fattestmarc, just fatmarc. I'm not complaining about my physique, it is what it is. I see the guys I race against, I am easily the most girthy of any of them. I choose to wear a skinsuit because that's part of the cross culture, and they are bad ass. Generally, I avoid the skinsuit like the plague, but during cross, it's all part of the game. I like the game.


My previous comments were not complaints so much as recognize that I understand the bikini season stress. I also kinda say screw it. Additionally, dudes who would normally never wear a skinsuit, bust that thing out for cross like it's nothing. It's an amazing thing. I'm not complaining, conversely I own it. I also find that it's always okay to make fun of yourself. That's kinda what I do here.
Sunday was nice, hung out with the DELAWARE CYCLOCROSS COALITION OF DELAWARE, did a little grass track racing:








took 2 seconds off my 600m tt from last week. So yeah, I have that going for me.




Then we went to lunch with the outlaws, celebrating my sister in law's Birthday.


Diane and I played with the boys a bit, and then took them down through Community Day at the university. We saw a dinosaur, got some footballs and played bouncy bounce...






We saw an old friend Amanda, who saw us and said, "man you two have been busy!" Diane looked at each other and laughed, singing a little Amy Winehouse, "No. No. No!"



It was a pretty good day, but man those boys tired me out. Thanks to Auer, Sam the Hammer, Frank, and Meg for stopping down for our grass track final this week. That was cool, even if Auer's white shorts showed off too much male camel toe. Camel toe must have helped, he won the omnium.

Peaches slipped back to the dark side just a little today. During a 10 lap race, I looked over my shoulder and there he was on his SPOT BRAND 29er, smiling at me. His barrier work (we keep a set on the infield) was a little rusty, but he's not that far from coming back ...
Is canoodling the official to get more omnium points legal?

respect.

You need to post (or repost?) that photo of you and Wes with your shirts off. That will explain to all the man-fear we all share when 'cross season rolls around and it's time for the skinsuit.

You haven't lived till a woman half your size and twice your weight comments that your skinsuit fits kinda tight.
