There is a pancake on that plate. On top of it is Organic creamy peanut butter, nonfat cherry yogurt, designer whey vanilla protein powder, kashi go lean crunch cereal, maple syrup, and vanilla soy milk.

Training Camp
Last week emily and I headed out to Stinson Beach for a serious and intense post NVGP Training camp. Here are a couple photos:

Tiger is Good.
I just watched tiger play a couple holes in the 3rd round of the US open and it was pretty cool and entertaining, for a golf tourny. He just had knee surgery less than a month ago, and he is winning. He says it was luck when he bounced it in off a chip shot, but you still have to aim and get the ball close to bounce it in.
Racing in Nature Valley today was hard. We lost the leaders jersey. And learned some lessons about riding on the front.
I am really proud of Emily for battling through and finishing todays 91-mile stage. Her team is passing a nice little sickness around to each other and it hit her, but she made it through.

first philly…
…and i LOVED it! it was about 200 degrees and sticky, steamy humid. but i have always wanted to race here and it was awesome. i was able to contribute to the happenings when i attacked and started a break of about 11 riders at the beginning of kelly drive. we lasted up the wall – would have liked it to have been longer, but it wasn’t meant to be i suppose. just happy that i could do something for the team…
got to ride in the high road car again this year for the end of the men’s race. (big thanks to tristan and steve for taking even more years off my life from the stress!) 
scott was not happy with his philly, but i’ll let him blog about that…maybe…someday….probably not.

MOA
We are in Minnesota for the Nature Valley Grand Prix. After a nice 5 of us took the team car and went to the local mall for lunch. Its a fairly popular mall:
The mall was just like any other, the only difference was the size. The website says that Seven Yankee Stadiums can fit inside and the distance of one lap around a level is 0.5 miles.
It was awesome.

together again…
after 2 and 1/2 months, scott and i are finally staying together for this madness they call philly week. i am behind, actually, with the updating because we have been busy racing and recovering. tuesday and thursday were the Lehigh and Reading races leading up to the big tomato on sunday in the city.
tuesday and thursday had a distinct theme: good for scott, bad for me. the races were hard and fast, with hot humidity and technical courses. still utterly frustrating that i didn’t do better, no matter how many excuses i can think of. ultimately, there are no excuses but 100’s of lessons learned. ok, enough whiney-cyclist “me” talk. and sorry…no pictures…but a link:
