if i had chosen to ride this unicycle in the time trial today i would have had a faster time, because i know i wouldn't have flatted. vitamin cottage teammates carmen (9th place) and sharon (30th place) did well for the team though.
here's what happened, i must have hit a piece of glass and suddenly my bike felt really bouncy (like snoop's car with hydraulics). i then proceeded to walk for a mile and a half (one hour) until sharon got in the minivan to pick me up. so my time is 43 minutes, i was booking it on that stealth bomber before the flat. i felt really good, and i was thinking damn, i'm going to do good, this tri spoke and overpriced disk wheel really works.
poor jon, we were going to share the bike and found out 5 minutes before his start that i had flatted and i still was out on the road walking home and had to ride his road bike al dente (meaning without aero gear). he said it was hard to even start the race, and just rode his bike to finish. we are both sitting pretty in last place. bring it yo.
oh well, we are just more rested then everyone else for the road race and the crit. hopefully we will have better luck with that. i'm tuning up the fat tire unicycle now to guarantee a safe flat free road race.
