Next week I will be house sitting for my teammate Neil’s in-laws here in the San Diego area. I am psyched because it gives me a free place to crash for another week of training and i even get a little cash for saving them the trouble of putting the dogs in a kennel. Here is the catch and the possible “deal breaker”. There is a snake loose in the house. That’s right a snake. Neil’s father in-law was in the process of feeding the snake when the phone rang. He left the cage open and when he returned the snake was gone. Apparently the snake is not to large and I am not too afraid of them, but it might be a bit of a shocker when I find him in the couch or in the bed. Looking forward to that one!
This weekend is going to be the first real test of the early season form. The Valley of the Sun stage race in Phoenix. I am going into the race pretty cracked after some big weeks and I am still hitting it this week. The time trial went well and I was only 32 seconds of the winner (Neil) who had full aero set up so either we are both creeping or going alright. Looking forward to it. Couple new pics up but nothing exciting. Lame post, but should be creative some day.
