Due to the fact that all I do every single day is study for boards, I have nothing the least bit interesting to blog about...so it will be about 3 more weeks before I resume being a normal person again.
I did race the St. Joe mountain bike race a couple weeks ago (which was super duper fun and my Paragon is the best freaking bike a person could ask for) and I managed to have a really good race even though all I do is sit on my behind and read all day long. I've decided to follow in Dan Larson's training footsteps by expending as little energy as possible throughout the day so that I have everything saved up when I finally do get to ride my bike (I may keep using both sides of my mouth when I talk though). So the St. Joe trails were insanely twisty-turny and my Paragon tore that junk up. I think I made a couple guys who don't like to get beat by girls cry on their way home...how rewarding.
At the moment it is really "raining it's ass off" as Steve just eloquently put it so the Landahl race might be a no-go.
So Steve got a job at Wheat Ridge Cyclery and will be heading out in a couple weeks to find us a place to live (preferably not in the Mexican ghetto-apparently Denver is the capital of Mexican gangs, SWEET). We are totally pumped about the relocation, but sad to leave some good friends here in KC. I will be staying thru most of July and August, and then my 1st rotation starts September 2nd!
Okay, that's the extent of my boring update-ciao.

Hey Lis. So I don't remember if I've commented before, but I'm bored and procrastinating as my wife is out of town so I just wanted to say hello (for readers' sake we went to high school together back in the day).
I'm living in Scotland for a year and it's killing me not to have a bike. I can't wait to return to GA to my Jamis Coda Sport--handy for commuting Atlanta's crappy streets and I love the classic styling.
The other random thing is that my wife is applying to med schools this fall, with the hope of one day studying for boards all the time just like you;)
Not really sure why I just commented, but there you go. Off to lunch.

Tell Steve congrats on the job! Hopefully we'll get to see you at a race or two before you head out.
hey what's up. I just bought a Paragon as well and found your blog after looking for a photo the bike to post to my blog! I saw you're moving to Denver, I live in Boulder, you'll love Colorado. Check out my blog if you want: www.startyourengine.wordpress.com
