3 days to worlds...

Nothing much has been going on here.. just been healing up finally and fine tuning my training for Crit Worlds in Vegas. Really looking forward to this race and the fitness seems to be good at the moment. I get into Vegas Wed morning and I am going to have to be good all the way until Thurs night.. for anyone that knows me this will be a tough task... no laying in the sun, gambling, or partying.. hmmm. I guess gambling doesn't hurt the form??

Anyway, for those of you that don't get to be in Vegas for the race you can watch it live on the internet. http://www.wcsn.com/ will have a live feed all night... Should be pretty cool. This is also the last stop in the US Crit Series... so I will be looking to move up overall and A&F will be trying to take back the team competition. Wish us luck!

Just a quick update on what has been going on. After Thater I was in Canada with Tara for a bit over a week. We did a lot of driving and spent some time with the fam at a cottage up north. Got some decent training in but was still healing up. I caught some decent regional races on the way home. One of the longest running races in Windsor Canada is a 4 corner flat race in the Italian district. I chilled for most of the race and found myself sitting pretty with a few laps to go. A break of 3 actually stayed off and I kind of messed up the finish.. with about a half lap to go I was about 30th somehow..oops.. shot up the inside on the backstretch and with 2 turns to go I was 5th wheel.. right where I wanted to be... came out of the corner and just could not pull on the bars to sprint.... so basically only passed 1 guy and finished 7th on the day. The next day was a tough one as well, especially after I was at the blackjack tables till 33o am. Yes I won:-) Another break stayed away and same thing in the field sprint. My back and hand just won't let me tug enough to sprint the way I need to so I ended up 6th. I have been resting a bit and now in full tilt training for Criterium Worlds on Sept 27th. Really looking forward to this race and to having a good time in Las Vegas. I am feeling a ton better and almost back to 100% health wise. My stitches are all out of my hand which helped a ton. So time to train my ass off and give it one last run for the season!

Here's a lovely pic of my finger/hand I have been trying to race with... enjoy:-)
