The Timpani Criterium

-

I think I'm going to write a book on how not to prepare for a race. I'm telling you my life is complete chaos that is somehow guided in the right direction. I have no idea on how I get things done or how I don't just pass out.

Check out my day of the race schedule.

(This is not typical since my club did put on the race and I had to help out, but this is not that far off of a typical weekend day)

-

5:00 AM - Get up. Coffee. Head out to Mike Rowe's to load my truck with NCNCA stuff.

6:00 AM - 8:30 AM - Set up course.

9:30 AM - Home so wife is not uptight because I spent all day at a bike race.

10:00 AM - Ride to breakfast with wife and baby. Hit the farmer's market.

12:30 PM - Back to race to get ready and warm-up.

1:40 PM - Master's 35+ (2 friggin flats)

2:30 PM - Fix race wheel flat to I can race to Pro/1/2.

3:55 PM - Pro/1/2 race. Complete waste of my time though it was a workout.

4:30 PM - Load truck.

7:30 PM - Pick up baby from my parents.

8:30 PM - Gave baby bath, fed her and put her to sleep.

9:30 PM - Cleaned out truck, completed chores around the house and got ready for work tomorrow.

10:30 PM - Cannot forget the wife. Talked to her about her day. Tried to be the attentive husband as he complained about random people and off load her emotions of the day.

10:45 PM - Pass out.

No wonder I raced like crap.
