167: Magic Gloves...

Driving to work on Friday I saw a sign that said this:


"Go Green- Use our new Organic Hair Line!"

all I could think of was this:



Looks like the kids had a nice run at National. Highlighted by this:

Super sweet hat Ryan. Is that Art School Standard Issue now a days? I'll miss you during cross but wish you the best.


Old Breyla-la fought her way to a podium finish as well. Good to her! I'll get a picture as soon as I can.

Just got word that Wes won short track today too. I wasn't going to say anything, but he was wearing my gloves when the xc national championship, and you know my gloves when he won short track. Yeah, there pretty special gloves. I'm not saying if you wear my gloves you can win a national championship, I'm just saying.

Here's a picture of my gloves winning the short track national championship:



since my gloves were busy winning national championships, and I've been on a break for a while I figured I should get out with the boys.

The boys who prompty kicked me in the ass. The group was a fine group of DCCoDers: (Papa Smurf, CZ, Iron Mike, Dan DDUB, Jan, Jay-Z,Rich B, E-town as well as Wolfie and Postal Dave).

The loop had lots of hills and I got dropped a lot. It was really hot. E-town didn't want me to show this picture:

I don't know why, it's actually a pretty nice picture.
I saw a lot of this as I was dropped on everyhill today:









And then this one:

Luckily Papa Smurf was there to pace me back to the group:

Behind this smile are the tears of a hurting sad clown.

Oh wait, there go my gloves winning another national championship....

Congrats to KC on having a pretty nice day today as well. I can't say she ever used my gloves. Maybe I'll lend her a pair for worlds next year.

whh whhhh whaaaat? he told me that winning is attributed to his lifestyle of afternoons on the couch with candy bars(male substitute for bon-bons)watching soccer and the tour.... all this time it has been those gloves??? Christ. [mayhem and job searching ensue, along with Scooby Doo like resolution "I would of have gotten away with it too"].
