Still kickin

I have been relaxing the best I can for the last few weeks. The family and I did some camping, we have worked on Shawn's cub scouting. I went and helped the Hall's move the day after 8.22" of rain. Shawn got his Bobcat badge and achievement beads last night. Started weight and circuit training and am ready to prepare for next year. Hoping to hear soon about the new team. Looks like we are home this weekend, so go trick or treating Friday and put in some miles Sat. and Sun.

The season has ended

Went to Greenville SC for the final races of the weekend. I had a feeling I should have stayed home, the car hitting me has not helped me getting prepared. The Masters race was going well I was in the main pack with 10 min to go and the games began. I was watching the clock and not the lap counter and we passed the finish line and I heard one to go. The Field sat up so I went and as I was coming down to the finish line with a former world champ pulling me back as I saw 5 to go. I believe the announcer said one FREE lap to go, slight error on my part huh? The three race was packed and I never got it together, so I went to the van, changed clothes, walked into Mello Mushroom, ate and drank a pitcher of beer and staggered back to the van. I started the season dizzy and ended it dizzy ! The next 7 days will be with the family with camping this weekend and come Monday the 20th the training begins.
This has been a heck of a year. I want to thank my poor wife and son who put up with me and to all my friends and sponsors for the help and support.
