jon's been outside cleaning our bikes and vc outfits for an hour.

well kids, today was my first race back. let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. i got absolute LAST place in the women's open cyclocross race at xlinx, and i got passed by some 35+ women that started a minute behind me! i didn't want to do another lap after doing about four, so i literally stopped so i could get lapped by none other than the big winner, and vc teammate, lisa (who also just had a baby 7 ish months ago, my inspiration).

i don't know why i chose to have my come back race on a dreary day and a super muddy course, but i did and i am glad to have it over with. i'm also glad to have a little bit of that hematocrap back that i lost at the birth 11 short weeks ago.

i can only move up from here, i think.
