Also, strava says we were lapping at about 27-28 mph when I got dropped last night, which Strava apparently thinks requires about 400 watts sustained on that course. Given how hard it felt and how quickly the field split up when it ramped up, that's probably realistic. Race with cat 1/2 guys, win stupid prizes.

Client: "We stopped Medication A yesterday because we didn't think it was working and today Fluffy is worse"
Heathpack: "Ok, so we need to go back on Medication A then, right?"
Client: "Well, we also stopped Medication B two days ago because we ran out and forgot to get it refilled."
Heathpack: "The problem with that is now we don't know if it was stopping Medication A or running out of Medication B that caused the symptoms to get worse."
Client: "Well... we also cut the dose of Medication C in half on Monday."
Heathpack: "What? Why did you do that? We were supposed to keep Medication C stable for another week."
Client: "We weren't sure it was working."

My friend: Doc gave me BP medicine on Monday. On Tuesday, I found a pimple so I quit taking it.
I'm joking but he's stopped taking numerous meds for even more idiotic reasons and he's not afraid to tell anyone how they shouldn't take their meds, too.

How about a little injection of humor? I don't know how many of you are old enough (Dennis T, Dennis T, I'm talking to you.) to remember a specific Chrysler commercial back in the day. In an effort to promote the smoothness of the ride, they filmed a diamond cutter cutting a diamond in the back seat of a Chrysler driving down a bumpy road. His exclamation that ended the commercial was, "Perfect!"
Well, in their first(?) or third(?) season the folks at SNL just couldn't resist the temptation to spoof that ad. Here is the skit they did:

Installed the DA drivetrain on the steel bike (I'll do the brakes some other time.) I spent a fair amount of time failing at making it shift properly. Then I realized that using the same chain was a bad idea. Put on an old 11-speed chain and it's all good now.
Also mounted my new tubulars. Didn't manage to get them perfectly straight. Will I die?
