NO CAPES!

Dear Readers,

True Life Text Exchange:

Chris:  You going to Great Valley tomorrow?

FM: Yes, leaving work around 4:40 or so, want to ride with us?

Chris: Cool, I’ll bring my front wheel.

FM: Front Wheel!? Hell. Bring a road bike!

Chris: If all goes to plan…

Chris is one of my favorite teammates, and training partners, but he might have forgotten a thing or two over the years. Like the time we drove to a race, and he forgot his front wheel. Or last year when we went to great valley, a training crit that he had done with us previously, and brought his cross bike because he thought it was a cross practice. It didn't really slow him down, as he had no trouble staying in the group on his cross bike, complete with freshly glue tubies. Chris is awesome. Chris may have over dressed a little last night, and when he opened his jacket is flapped in the wind like an awesome yellow cape.

every time I would rotate past him I would say, "NO CAPES!" 

He would just smile and laugh at me.

last night was so much fun. It was a little faster, a little more argy bargy, a little more sketchy, but freakin' awesome. I woke up this morning still stoked. It was so much fun.

I whiffed a bit on my exam this week. My worst exam score since I started school. 10 question test, got 2 wrong. One I just didn't know (confused Fayol and Follet), the second I knew but didn't read the question right, and got it wrong. Sloppy mistake. The good news is that each test had a individual and group part. We crushed the group part.  What was frustrating was that I felt really good about the material, I think I was doing a bit of over-thinking  I’ll do better next time.  Working with my counselor at school, I think I have devised a plan to wrap up my time as a student in a little less than a year. Still feels like I just started. I have really enjoyed school to this point. I will enjoy getting back 10 hours or so a week for other things however…

Anyway, that’s where the world lays today.

Thanks for reading…

respect
