I took the day off work Tuesday and headed up to Winter Park with Jeanie and John to preride the course for the race this weekend. Jeanie’s parents watched the kids so we were free and clear. We got up to Winter Park, no problem, and headed of to the start with the “race journal” from the website in hand. Long story short: the race journal is shit. We got lost four or five times and finally finished up after 5 hours!
To make matters worse, coming through a meadow, I got side swiped by a bee right in the eye. He was stuck between my eye and my glasses for 5 seconds and by the time I got him out of there, he had stung me at least once on my eyelid. It stung pretty bad, but it wasn’t until the next morning that it started to swell… EEK! (Oh and it got much worse than this through the day)
Thanks God it seems to be back to normal now…
This Saturday is Winter Park race #4. In the five hours we spent there, surprisingly we actually rode all of the course. It’s a little longer than the last race, but it’s going to be fast.
I’ve got to go find Adrian now…
Dang that’s ugly. Glad it’s better now. I should tell you about the time I thought (as a kid) it was a good idea to hit our woodpile with a hammer. Who knew bees lived in there?
