I’m taking a homework break right now………….

Yes, a homework break. I just started another online business class. You see, some guys went straight from high school to college. Some guys didn’t. I’m kind of part of both groups but probably more the second one as I stomp around with my precious 25 credits. But, in an attempt to chip away at a coveted degree and to not allow my brain to go to mush (anymore than it already has), I’ve enrolled back in college to slowly chip away at things.

School’s actually a nice thing to be doing right now. Like I mentioned in the title……it’s friggin hot here! Like Africa hot. I’ve been leaving to train somewhere between o’dark thirty and 6:00 am and by 9:30-ish, I’ve got to be home or I start to roast like a chicken on a rotisserie. No bueno……..but, muy bueno for the ol’ tan lines. Viva la chin strap tan line!!!! So hot right now, so hot.

Yeah, the brains totally mush right now. Is it the lack of homework over the years or the 6 or so hours I’ve been working on “developing my professional skills and standards”? I got a good guess…..

Oh yes, about the bike………trainings been going well. The heat really doesn’t bother me so much. I mean, it’s physically limiting, but the early mornings and multiple water bottle rides don’t bother me too much. I’ve been riding in Phoenix for almost 13 years now. If it really bothered me, I’d leave. I took some time off after Beauce and have begun training again this week. Rest = Good. This weekend I’m heading down to Tucson to put in a few long days in the saddle. After that, I’ll be back in Phoenix for some specific interval work and then I’m off to the Cascade Cycling Classic in July. Follow that up with the Tour de Toona and that puts me in August already. Wow, where did the season go? I’ll be doing base miles in no time.

Alright, play time is over. The books are calling my name. Damn dirty books……..

Bye.

Austin.
