Not Much of A Week

Last week had me getting 10+ hours of nice saddle time in. This week, I have 1.5 hours in. Woot! Woot! The lull in XXC work that I experienced last week is over, and this week stories and photos are starting to come in. Today I was also coordinating and doing XXC's first phone interview with a certain pro mountain bike racer. Who? You'll have to wait on that one! ;) I will say you can set up a pretty cool ghetto phone recorder with a portable phone on speaker, an iMac and Garage Band.

Anyway, back to me... The doctors appointment concerning the blood clot that won't go away, is tomorrow. Wost case scenario I go back on blood thinners, best case she says I'm "good enough", and I can just keep doin' what I'm doin' with the baby aspirin, and watching for swelling. I really want to stay off the blood thinners, but I guess if I have to choose between taking them and pulmonary embolism, I'll go with the blood thinners. But ONLY after an awkward and lengthy pause for thought.

I hope I can get out for a short spin after my appointment tomorrow, but if not, no big deal. Scheduled to hit up some mountain trail on Saturday with a couple peeps, and that should be a nice 3 to 5 hours and I can probably get another 3+ hours in on Sunday.

Really looking forward to 5:01 tomorrow and chilling my ass out with a few beers. Wait all week for this appointment and the lack or riding has me tad fried.

Later.

Fingers crossed dude. I'll even try sacrificing a small mammal tonight if you think that'll help things.

I sacrificed 2 pounds of chicken thighs, wrapped them in flour tortillas and covered them in cheese and salsa. Should do the trick. Thanks for the thoughts dude.

Good luck with the doc man.

Keep that great XXC stuff coming but for christ's sake dude go ride your bike. The jerseys all look good.

Peace,
Metro
