warm up on the hills around the park with james, then laps on the course before too. legs feeling good but body not so great, stomach out of wack.

race, legs were there but stomach wasnt. got a callup to the front line but missed the clip in, not the best start. first lap was alot of avoiding and pushing, then settling in maybe 1.5 laps into the race. after 2.5 laps had to take it down a bit more, blowing up, handling was off on corners and other which is unusual for me, and took a real minor digger in some soft dirt. found some new legs after that and they shorted us a lap, so I went out as hard as I could last lap and past a couple guys back, ended up 6th again.

Warm up on the roads, not a flat road to spin on, all hills in griffith park. Prob including 3-4 laps on the course too. Not my favorite/best warmup and was feeling OK at the start.

Went out hard and held onto some fast wheels, not my favorite course but thats cross, was way fun pushing. Dropped my chain 30mins in and lost a few guys and lost ben jones' wheel, had to chase back but never caught ben or one other guy. Was a fun race though. ended up 6th/23 in cat 3

Hung out and watched the womens and mens pro race and had some post race bevs with James and Sarah.

Takin the day off, washing truck after work and making sure cx bike is good to go for racing both days this weekend. Excited to get out there and race, griffith park is rad so I hope the course is cool too.

cruised in the sweltering heat. alot of really hard efforts, easy to do, light winds. first half of ride really hard, then backed off a bit and then interspersed hard efforts in the rest. mouth dry no bottle, showered when I got home and chugging a ice cold sapporo...nice.

Dropped off Sarah and I's absentee ballots on way to bolsa, then first 10 mins rolling through fresh dogshit, then stung by bee at end of ride.

Otherwise legs felt good, i felt good, eyes dry and kinda zapped from the weekend but still legs good. stressing about the election...i know it is worthless to stress over but still, politics.....fuck.

Got off the plane in the LBC at noon, on the road bike an hour later.

Legs and body feeling weird to say the least, but muscles rested. Just melted back into riding and was loving it, even with the headwind and stuff, not so much traffic in the middle of the day. Thinking about alot of stuff on the ride, and the trip to seattle, bittersweet to be back home as always, I love it up there with family.

Back to work tommorow, was a good vacay and visit.
