"at least they won, other wise I'd be really mad having to be in this rain"

so last night I went to the Stars playoff game! Very exciting game! They won 3-1. Our seats were like the highest possible, but you could actually see really well, and it was a plus that no one was behind us to spill beer or peanut shells on us. They gave out towels, if anyone watches hockey, you know what those are for .. I did have to dodge the whirrling towels a few times. people were getting a little crazy. The craziest part of the night was going back to the car! It was pouring down rain, and sooooo windy.. and it was actually funny watching the women who were actually dressed up in heels and whatnot running, getting soaked and freezing. By the time I was in the car, I was drenched! But oh well, had fun. Love going to sporting events, its worth it. ..

This past weekend was Rocky Mount stage race, just outsde of Shrieveport, LA. We stayed with Russ, one of Nathans buddies. Thanks to Russ and Shana for the food and hospitality! I had a great time. It was a womens open race, the roadrace was saturday morning, bright and early. 8:05am, still very chilly! But it went well, just sat in and rode, got the 7 sec hot spot. One girl was off the front for a lap, but she was back towards the end of laps 3. The pace actually picked up on the third laps, when people actually decided they wanted to bring her back. So by the end of the third lap I think thre were about 10 of us for the last stretch. Sat 4th with 1K to go then 3rd, then 2nd and at about a 100m to go I went for the win! Yes, I won a road race. :) So I was 10 sec infront of 2nd and like 20 or so infront of 3rd. After the boys got done, we headed back to Russ' to rest a bit before the TT. I was pretty neverous going into the tt, knowing I havnt figured out how to TT yet. Havnt had any very succsessful TT's yet... but, I went out, did all I could, but it wasn't enough. 3rd place(Milissa) took first and I got bumped back to 3rd :( The crit was Sunday morning, chilly, once again. Got the 5 sec hot spot and sat i again. Kind of a non exciting race, no real attacks or anything. On the last lap, I was thinking of going early to try to make up some time and move into second. Yet, I've never been successful off the front by myself..so I decided to just stay in for the sprint. Came around the last turn 2nd, and went with about 150m to go. I won the stage, yet did not make enough time to move up in GC at all. So I came out of the weekend with 2 stage wins, 3rd GC, and some cash, not bad.(3 seconds short of 2nd and 12 short of 1st.) I'll get 'em next time.. :)
Oh ya... im loving the picture of me on the website.. haha....not

thank goodness.

So this past weekend I raced the Mineral Wells road races, and I got my points to upgrade(to a 3)! for sure... yes its confirmed. I did what I was told, sat in the group, and waited for the sprint. I won the field sprint both days. 2nd and 4th. Pretty fun weekend. We had a team dinner sat night for the everyone who was in town, and lee even graced us with his presence! ANd today I went to the Rangers opening game! so fun! and it didn't rain, like they thought it would. it was actually very warm. so, I wore shorts to the game, and my cycling tan showed. and multiple people commented on it! people I did not even know.. so weird. " Hey you.. Nice tan line" mmm... Irena and I just laughed.. :)
