record temps
i swear i've never experienced temperatues this high this much ever. i think this is the 3rd week of 100+ degree readings - today was a record at 105. !!! it is not easy (and entirely safe) to be training in this heat. i've been getting up in the mornings to do a little bit to supplement shortened evening sessions.
this weekend is the bmw of chattanooga omnium. i bit the bullet and signed up for the whole thing: river gorge road race (37 miles, including a final climb all the way to the top of raccoon mountain. i hope i make it!), river gorge time trial (4.11 miles, around the reservoir on raccoon), then the downtown criterium - 30 minutes of maximum effort. this will be my first crit and i am nervous!! i figured since it is here, at home, why not... it's a fairly short, non-technical race so it seems to be a good introduction. my goals are: 1, not to crash; 2, not get lapped and pulled from the course. i really have no idea what to expect - wish me luck!
