While in Santa Rosa…

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

jumpfrog.gifIf you are a biker, or actually even a jogger; and for that matter, heck even if you are a driver you already know there are many different types of honks while out yonder eating or not eating gus… (not a human Gus… I guess that gus is a gue)

Although, I can’t say gus or gues, which ever it is, capitalized or not, would be my choice of food in the car… I mean really if I am bonking while driving I mine as well eat something good and use my knees to direct my car… in fact if I could figure out how to do this while riding, I would quit eating gues on the bike…

Which really quickly brings me to my first thought… If I really wanted to spell all my words correctly I would probably use spell check, and then everyone that likes fonicks would be screwed…

In fact, Let me see if I can find this email sent to me…

Dang, I deleted it… but anyways (which is like anyhow… probably also not a word :) … yet closely related to anyway, but more then one way) if I spelled everything exactly right, then you (being someone) couldn’t write me a note…

which is why most of you probably are as confused as I am at this point and are really wondering the real question… am I in school right now??

So on to more important news…

How can I figure out how to ride my bike with my knees so I could eat way better food on the bike without worrying about a wind gust or in fact one of those turtles (not the animal turtle… the plastic, usually white thing)

(trust me I saw in happen in Azzie (usually not spelled that way) by rider RG… I won’t mention any names, but that is who hit a turtle and hit the deck)…

yep, if she had been using her knees this would have never happened…

So I am still in Santa Rosa where I went golfing with Helen and Bob (who I am staying with) yesterday and almost pulled my tricep trying to hit the ball as hard as I could… and that is when I hit the ball so I am kinda wondering why I am so sore

Well, mainly because it didn’t happen that often… hitting the ball (but fun to go hit the few balls I did hit out yonder into the wild green grass)

That will be my first invention… a bigger ball (easier to hit and see after you hit it) although if you are on a driving rang then if your ball is easier to see you can’t claim that you hit the ball the person next to you hit way down the driving rang, so never mind…

But before any of this, first I was going to talk about honks, but got way off track… really you know what kind of honk you are getting while out biking(usually called cycling), jogging, running, walking, gardening, or driving because it (being the honk) is either followed by a wave of five fingers or one finger making it easy to figure out…

Well, it is time for me to go practice my singing of Happy Birthday for this weekend…

ps…
let me see if I can find my warning at mock speeds from a long time ago, heck it might even be on my bio…

Warning: I am not a state of the art genious… although close. There may in fact be a few spelling and grammar errors (if you sound out most words you can figure out what I am saying (thanks)

Back accoss the Dateline…

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

jumpfrog.gifNow I am not saying I crossed any dateline like you may be thinking about. Yes it is true, I have a boyfriend so did not go stand in a long line… well not any date lines anyways. However there were many other lines I did find myself standing in. Most often the start line, line. I hate it when you, being me in this case, make one too many circles around the crit course and end up in the very back of the line wondering how many corners it will take traveling at extra mock speed to make it up to the front…

Anyways, after being across the Salty Pacific for two weeks a lot of exciting things happened, the most being the jumping kangaroos.

And in other exiting news that you have already heard about, or may not have yet. Katharine won the sprint jersey, Katheryn Curi-Mattis (Mattie-Curi, not sure which one goes first) won the World Cup, and Kristin Armstrong won the New Zealand race!!! It was awesome…

Not so awesome was the crash that occurred at 30mph/50kmph on one of the days over yander coming into the finish line. Hello, if you run into someones front wheel at mock speeds it will probably cause a big crash and bikes to go flying… All I have to say about that is holy catfish, geeze

But again back to racing and my teammates… On the team leading out for the sprint jersey was Alison, Lauren, Carmen and Brooke. I was usually hanging out in the back cheering them on drinking as many gues that I could so I could make it up the climbs… just kidding on the gues. I was drinking whatever drinks I had in my water bottle and eating gues…

Now I am in Santa Rosa hanging out until my parents come with Mattie…. which I am so excited for And then head over the other salty pond toward Europe where I will get to see Phil, swim and race, hopefully in that order…

For now it is time to go learn an Italian word so when I get there I will be ahead of the game… like they always say. You must always be a head of the game, yep
Cheers,

ps… I wonder if it is easier to spell in Italian then English
