I was pleasantly surprised with myself at how fast I sprinted up some of the hills on the ride home. I was getting home late because we had a track meet. Because the other school is small and wasn't much competition, we pretty much got to run in any races we wanted. I ran my usual race, the 800 meter (two laps) but because I'm a nut, decided to run the 3000 meter (7.5 laps) afterwards. The distance didn't scare me, as I've run it before, and ran cross-country, which is 5000 meters, but doing those two races is crazy because they are practically back to back: about 15 minutes down-time in between, 20 max. I didn't go very fast in the 3000...

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the new 35 cross tires I ordered, they should be in any day now. If I decide to just keep them on my bike until I can get a separate wheelset, they will certainly make my commute slower, but I can't wait to be able to hit the trails near my house. My 28s feel too "in-between." Fattish for road tires, kinda scary off road. Though considering 85% of my riding is road, I probably ordered the wrong kind of tires. Oh well
