Tasha takes win #3 in Sun Prairie Wisconsin

SO Tasha finally learned how to spray a bottle of Champaign...funny she asked me how to do this a few days ago in Nevada. Once again Tasha rode brilliantly, carving corners, and accelerating hard up hill inclines and slowly grass sections. She did manage to biff it just a little in one corner, but it's cause she's pushing the limits a little and it's good. I think she was really happy to redeem herself after her race in Vegas, in which she had a problem with her shoe being too tight and cutting off the circulation. It's amazing what we do under pressure.

Today, for me, not so good. I don't know what I was thinking, I thought file treads would work well today, but pumped em a little too much after the Vegas tire folding kerfuffle. Man I rode absolutely awful, either in spite of this or despite I don't know what. I stopped to let pressure out of my tires, it sill wasn't right. So went to the pitt, switched wheels, but somehow the front tire was way too soft and the cones were loose and it just went on and on. So, I am sad to say I pulled the plug. After a season of telling the Jet Fuel kids to never quite, or surrender I had to swallow my pride and just pull it, cause I was not in a good place and I was digging a hole.

Not to mention that I was riding so bad I wouldn't let this guy by me, he started swearing at me, passed me then he biffed it so hard...but it gets worse, I had no where to go, but over him and I rode over his arm, then somehow managed to ride over his bike. This is once again something that I can't even tell you how it happened, and if I didn't do it, I would not have thought that it was possible. I hope the guy is ok. I for sure didn't do it on purpose, I'm not mean of a guy. It was just one of those days, where you become your own worst enemy, my bike was not great, but even worse was my mind which could not deal with it. So called it a day, had a pulled pork sandwich and watched Tasha get a sweet pay day and spray champaign over the announcers.

I guess that's the good part of being part of the Duo, if I have a bad day she pulls through and everything is ok. Not to get too melodramatic, but I'm a lucky man that's for sure.

Euro style (with cool euro accent) "today was not good, I was not at one with my machine, tommrow I make sure it is better and I expect to be on a good day ".

OK, nough bout that. Not only did Tasha win, but our host Jim, came second in his race and almost won it and his daughter won her volleyball game and came 3rd in the tourney and his son won his football game, so I guess we can't have everyone do well on the same day.
