6 Hours of Warrior Creek this weekend. Racing my way into fitness à la Jan Ulrich circa his chubby days. Then a long weekend in Ohio of intense greenway training followed by the Bootlegger 100.
I got caught sleeping this past Sunday and missed the big price jump on the Greenway Classic at Anne Springs Close Greenway coming this June. At this point, I'm a little concerned as to whether or not it's gonna happen. With only sixteen people registered for some or all of the weekend's worth of action and such an appreciable price jump over two months out (for a first year event), it's hard to imagine covering one's nut for a band and all the other stuff they are proposing. I know it's people like me sitting on the fence not really helping things along, but I haven't seen the levels of promotion I'd expect if this thing is gonna be worth it. As much as I was looking forward to it, I was also kinda squeezing it into a busy part of the year, so...
Meh.
Did I mention that I registered for the Breck Epic last week?
Now I have.
I'll be racing duo male 50+ with long time Trans-Sylvania Epic and Tour de Burger compatriot and someone I'd call "frand," Chris Merriam. We should have a delightful time being old lowlanders together on a mountainside, clutching our oxygen starved chests and mocking the youths and all their exuberance. This will be my (runs to the other room, counts the belt buckles) 8th Breck Epic, but only my second time doing it as a duo.
Although I don't expect to finish on the podium this time... unless there are fewer than four teams again.
Stoked that things are ramping up and mebbe I can spend less time worrying about whether or not the grass is ever going to grow in my backyard because I'm distracted by this whole "racing" nonsense.

You're doing the Breck with Merman of CCCP? Just don't get in a canoe with him.
