Closing in.....

....on race day. I have everything set up to send the One9 in after the race on Sunday......sorry guys, no upgrade to the Air9 carbon rig. Still just too steep a price to pay. Even with crash replacement and dealer discounts!
So 3hrs it is for this weekend. I think 6hrs on a cracked frame is just too much of a gamble(like 3hrs hrs isn't, pffft).
Here's a random thought for you......I saw a woodpecker on top of a house yesterday morning, banging away at the metal siding.....over and over again. My first thought.....that's kind of what it's like to race at altitude for me.....working my tail off, and not really making much progress. Padgett can vouch for this one. Kind of funny how after almost 2 yrs., that one and only DNF of my career still haunts me to this day. Maybe because it was marathon nationals, eh?
Here's to no mechanicals this weekend.....(toast), I figure there's no jinxing something that has been the norm for me the last 3 races.....
