a scorcher

after not being woken up by alarm this morning in quite some time, i had a new experience. wonder zimties replaced cocoa rice perals. they are like cinamon toast crunch, except with less sugar. they are enjoyable.
after that i just sat for a while. that was nice, then worked on sponsor proposals until class time.
we had a guest today speaking about e-voting. mildly interesting. then our prof. i think had other plans, but the room was a sauna so she said go home, its too hot. so that was nice. but im not kidding about the sauna, i was starting to drip sweat from the head, and my arms were shinny.
after class i went out and braved the heat on my bike. an hour and 25 with sprints. tomorrow weather permiting is a hill TT in switzerland. only around 5 km. but nevertheless i wanna do well. see if i can still go up fast.
soon it is noodles, peppers and chicken, with watermelon after.
tonight is germany vs. italy. if they win its to the final. so hopefully ill get a chance to have a 4th of july party!

racing outlook for the rest of the month:
well my european racing is coming to a close, hopefully just for now. This weekend there is no race for me to attend, i think the races were planned around germany winning the world cup. then the next weekend there are 2 days of racing, both crits i think. but could be wrong. then the following weekend, which will be my last, is first a hill TT 9 km on saturday, then on sunday and A/B/C 120 km RR. im really looking forward to that since the continental teams show up. it will be fun to say yeah, ive raced against Rabobank.

TdF 2006:
well they are dropping like flys, Valverde is out now too (crash, no doping was proven). its looking good for the americans.
