Quotes of the Week
Category: enjoy the blog, quotables | 2 Comments
This one is not exactly a quotable per-se, but I am SUPER proud of my cleverness. All week long a certain Transformers-obsessed friend has been calling himself various robot characters - Optimus Prime, Galvatron, Grimlock...WELL, I am now calling him Dingletron. Up next might be Nerdimus Prime. If you have any ideas for me please let me know (and yes I do still have my favouritest Transformer ever, Jetfire).***********************Overheard...Girl 1: Her ring was so gorgeous! It was like this antique setting, with all these little diamonds around it, but it still looked totally modern.Girl 2: The one I have want has (some diamond-ring-speak I did not understand) and ...

I Saved the Best for Last
Category: enjoy the blog, quotables | Leave a Comment
So, I am at the tail-end of my Nature Valley blogging. Although, I am not even remotely near the tail-end of my Nature Valley recovery. For some strange reason I am still way tired (might have something to do with my running-around-like-a-chicken-trying-to-get-stuff-done).Anyway here is my favourite photo of the trip, it's Katie Mac in our lake after the Stillwater stage:I love it... The nails. The laugh. The omnipresent Blackberry.Like I am one to talk though. While I was taking this photo Sharon was teasing us. "This is so typical," she said, "we go in the lake for 5 minutes, but Courtenay and ...

So I am safely home from Nature Valley, and my computer is finally able to get a much-needed (ok, essential) charge so I can blog properly with photos and everything! Get psyched.Or not. I am actually kinda running out of steam.Here's Sharon. She has great taste in outfits and reading material, and she's an expert at stage-race recovery:That is In Touch Magazine, those are tan lines not white spandex, and Sharon your hair looks greatShe can't get mad at me for posting this because I totally made her ...

Not Quite Cracked Any More
Category: enjoy the blog | 6 Comments
I was in a terrible mood at the beginning of the race today.Ready to pack it up and peace out of this crashfest suffer-party of a quote-unquote sport, in which I have lately felt like little more than a suffering crash-avoiding passenger, and which continually RUINS my hard-earned non-tan lines, anyway I was ready to kiss it goodbye and go have some temper tantrums in a corner by myself or something. That's me in the middle, Crabby Appleton, rolling off the start of the 85ish mile Mankato Road Race today.Then somewhere around mile 8 I ...

More Minneapolitan Excitement
Category: enjoy the blog | 1 Comment
Tonight's crit was fast and painful, but blessedly dry in comparison to last year (scroll down, couldn't get just a picture link alone, sorry).And, being a big important stage of a big important race and everything, there were plenty of gossip-worthy moments. For example the call-up situation that got totally botched, and the Theresa Moriarty fan in the crowd who started freaking out (which is the main theme of this blog post, btw) and yelling at Dave Towle to hold everything because Theresa couldn't move up to the front of the start line or whatever. There was plenty more, BUT:I am going to tell you about the drive home instead. Sharon is driving, with ...
