enjoying the sun.

last night when i was trying to fall asleep there were a few people yelling about soccer in the street, really loud...a preview of whats to come? (world cup starts tomorrow).
then this morning i was woken by a lawn mower at 7 A.M. honestly. wait at least another hour. after the rude awakening i picked up my package that just got here. more chips! then off to class. nothing special. then lunch, digesting time. bike time. i decided to do a harder workout today. so after 30 min warm up i was planning on doing 10, 30 sec. bits really quite hard in a row. 30 seconds rest inbetween. then 10 min rest between sets. all 3 times. the first set i lost count and ended up only doing 5. simple math figured that out. so the next 2 sets went off without a hitch besides the fact that they hurt like crazy and a permanent headwind. after the second set the Alps were in great view, i had never seen them from that particular angle before, but i could see all the way to the base of them. so now i know how to get there. just have to wait for a chance. next weekend i dont have a race is it. weather permiting of course. then i made up for the missed 5 intervals and got a nice 30 min cool down in. in total 2 hours 40 of nice sunny weather (in the Team Beat jersey, sorry dave no chance for a photo shoot). tomorrow is a rest day in prep for sunday. a race in stuttgart. a big race i assume too. its only the top 4 groups racing. no kids at all. so it should be really fast. im excited for the competition to increase even more. see if i can still do it.
the german girl that was at olaf last year just stopped by to say hi. that was nice.
now its time to go try my hand at fried rice again, although i am not looking forward to going in the kitchen because one of the asians just cooked something that smells like wet dog...

oh, by the way. the T-mobile rider i saw 2 days ago, and again yesterday. i think is Matthias Kessler, although it could also be Klöden. both live in kreuzlingen, but i am pretty sure i saw blonde hair, not dark...
also, bert, the phonak guy i rode with last month just finished 5th in the TT in the big race thats happening right now. he was the first non-american.
