Scratch
Today is going to be a first in my racing life. A big ugly scratch in a race I was really looking forward to running in. The BHP tonight has a killer 3k with Mark Carroll, Adam McKenzie, Liam, Reale, and Roland Lavalle which will be an excellent race. I am unfortunately way less than 100% which would be required to toe the line with those gentlemen. I am just going to be in the way so out of it I will head. If the rain stops and I get a good nap in after my training run I may head out to watch it. I am certainly not going to stand in a cold rain and get any worse than I already am.
Last night was the night I tried to lick this thing by getting into bed early and staying there until 8 this morning. Same cough and blah feeling which told me the effort of max sleep was in vain. Next week I should be healthy and ready to roll.
I don't know how many of you caught the last hour of the scripps spelling bee but it was a final between a young Canadian and a jersey girl. The Great State of New Jersey stood tall in the end with a correct spelling of Ursprache. She was certainly aided by the luck of the draw in the 11th round as the two people who went before her got "syringadenous" the "heiligenschein" to knock them out as she got "hukilau". That is the way the words come up. I bet the kids who got those words were thinking, "why don't you just give her "truck."
That’s all I got.
