Pals

While we were at Sea Otter we got a visit from an old pal wearing an ugly shirt. No, not Tom Schuler! Actually it was Chris Goodson. Here it's Sarah (I'm camera shy) Tillotson, Tom, me and "UB" Chris in his old old University of Buffalo jersey. It was great to see Chris again; he used to live in Lake Placid but is now living in Santa Cruz. I pestered him into coming down and checking out the action; sorry we didn't get to hang out much but duty called; tired racers and all. Doesn't Sarah look tired? This is what 22 laps with a gazillion feet of climbing does to a girl. Look tired, Sarah!

Many people have wanted to know about the racer's diet; you know, what their special nutritional needs are. Sima kept knocking back these things; I didn't get the name of them but they were lo-carb, lo-sodium and high in protien. Funny, everytime she'd pick up the jar the cat came running. Good energy for racing or a night of blogging; Jim looks like he's going off the back, wouldn't you say?

Here's Sima congratulating Tina on a great win at the Redlands crit. Nice lids, Tima!

Who'd a thunk it?

Shelley and I dipping our feet in the Pacific off 17 mile drive. They normally charge you to drive down here but we dropped Beat's name at the gate and they let us in for free. Thanks Beat!
