I'm not sorry for yelling at you.

In other news, I was the fastest sprinter today in the 4/5 race. Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough to close the gap that needed closing. 4th.

In the 3/4 race, I went fast, but couldn't keep it. I went off the back due to the circumstances on the last lap. At least I finished, which is better than 25 other guys can say.

Usually a result of poor position or fitness. It's ok to admit to not doing it right.

This seems like a good thread for some things I need to say: to the van full of nuns from St Marys...I'm not sorry for flipping you off...use your d--- turn signal next time. To my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Browne...I AM sorry for putting that used gum on your chair. And to my ex wife...I want my alarm clock back.

I bet you're a real pleasure to race with. Ask anyone but the ones I yell at. I rock at being raced with.

This phrase is suitable for a T-shirt.

Only raced with him once; no problems during the race; did his work in breakaways; and was definitely pleasant to chat with afterwards.

I was in a race a few weeks ago and they let the women race with us. One woman kept yelling at everyone to hold their lines, et al. She was the squirrelly one. Packs ebb and flow and even on straight flat roads, no one keeps a perfect line. She didn't get that.

She was also complaining about the pace of the race being slow, but (not) surprisingly she never found her way to the front to pull.

Apparently, she was some master time trial champion that wasn't so good at road races and crits.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand...

I'm going to need a graph of how much he rocked, and when, in the race.

Which is probably the case with most people on here(even pcaddy). But man, the online badass, excuse making, chip on the shoulder(read the blog) persona needs work.

EXACTLY! I've been waiting for someone to point out my faults. Because a vague race report, and a blog filled with thinly-veiled sarcasm (who's last post was a month ago), horrid grammar and potty mouth weave the person that is me.

And I have no chip on my shoulder; just some mustard that I ate right up.

Someday, we'll race and afterwars, you'll be like "Who was that awesome guy to race with?":thumb:
