The Biggest Loser

So our company started a biggest loser competition at work and requested that everyone participate. How the hell is some one that weighs only 140 pounds (after putting it back on after a month of wasting away) expected to lose it again. I worked way to hard to get myself back into a condition where I can compete on a bike. Anyway I think it is a great idea for some of the people here to participate in this game. There are some rather large people here that could lose some weight. I also did find it kind of cool that they figured out our body fat percentage. I still feel that it is off a little since mine came out to be a whopping 3.5%. Seemed kind of high to me. That might also be because I am very cautious and particular about my weight. I do wish anyone that is looking forward to losing weight good luck. I dont really think however that this will be any kind of success though since there is a vending machine full of cokes and fatty snacks that are sold out on a regualr basis. Oh well just my thoughts on this idea. By the way if you are interested in my stats I will be glad to share.

Weight: 143
Total Cholesterol: 180
Glucose (Blood Sugar): 86
Blood Pressure: 125 over 65
Body Fat: 3.5%

Gas Prices Suck

Normally I try to leave this to riding/racing posts but gas prices are really starting to piss me off. There are too many lazy asses driving there SUV's, Vans, and Trucks. If you really want to do something about these high gas prices then do something about it that will actually work. No, dropping the gas tax will not work becuase all it will do is encourage peolpe to buy more gas that these oil producing countries will not give us and gas prices will be right back to where they were plus the taxes will be thrown back on. Damn. I can only imagine what it would be like if we lived in a country that encouraged people to car pool or even ride a bike to work. Dont tell me you live too far because I commute every day for nearly an hour and a half to work and home again at 5 pm. Just get off your lazy asses and you might save some money and lose some weight. Which should encourage a drop in insurace rates as well. Damn, you win twice on that deal

Crazy Day

What a fucking day this turned out to be. After a long shitty day at the office I pretty much sped home to drop off my heavy ass Zipp bag. Just at the peak of the climb up to Fort Harrison who should I see but Dean out riding. Felt like a dick however just going around him and not being able to stop and chat or ride, but I was running late and did not want to make Anna wait toolong for me to go ride since I already told her I was going to be a few minutes late. I only hope Dean can forgive me since he will be putting me in the box tomorrow more then likely when we do LT Intervals for 2 hours. So after completing a lap around the new course for the State Championship I felt like I had to be a big guy and add a little extra riding. Should have known this was going to be bad from the get go. Of course what could go worse then a flat tire? How about trying to fix it and discovering that your air pump is broken. Thank God Anna had a CO2 cartridge with her. I should really know better then to not have one of those. Maybe it will just be time to breakdown and buy one.
By the way for anyone out there that cares Major Taylor Velodromes opening night is Friday night June 6th and the Indiana State Road Championships are Saturday June 7th!

What a weekend!

What a weekend this Memorial Day weekend turned out to be. I got the chance to meet some of the guys on our team and I got the chance of a lifetime driving the team car in the caravan. Nothing like watching a road race from a string of cars behind the race itself and hearing the officials and talk to each other and giving splits to team officials was pretty cool. Even though our team dropped out of the race by the 27th mile it was still pretty sweet to be part of this experience.
The only part of this weekend that really sucked however was the long ass ride up to Traverse City Michigan. 14.5 hours of bus riding up and 11hours of car driving home was worth it to hear some of the funniest things I have ever heard. Whether it was the Wabash jokes aimed at Jack or the multiple quotes from Ryan ("I am good at 2 things, bike racing, and making girls do some crazy stuff").
Oh well know it is time to get back to racing and try to get my ass ready to win a state title on the road in 2 weeks.
