I had the wheel trued right before the race. It went out of true during the race. Its a wheel defect and I'm talking to the manufacturer about it. I have another set of of heavier wheels I'm using during my upcoming race (the Neuvations).

I hung out w/a lot of the football players. One of my buddies was Mean Joe Green's son Major (Mean Joe got his nick name from N. Texas. Their nickname is the "Mean Green". Enter a kid named "Joe Green" and well, you can see how it came about...) The following year I transferred to UT. First game of the season was against N. Texas. I was a very conflicted individual in the stands. Wore my N. Texas hat and a UT sweatshirt....
