Lance Armstrong was always talking about how he'd reconed this stage and pre rode that stage in order to prep for the Tour. So, I took a page out his book and made it better. I watched the NASCAR race at Infineon raceway, not once, but twice on TV to prepare for this past weekend's bike race at the same race track. Did it pay off? Yes! I won two tickets to the '08 NASCAR race weekend at the raceway. #1 is pretty stoked as she's always wanted to go to a race. Mark your calendars for sometime in June of next year so we can all party at the race. I know some, well maybe all, of you are going to laugh when I say this, but it really was a highlight of my racing career to be able to race on the same road circuit that stockcars and indy cars race on. All I could think about the entire time was how cool it would be to race a car around the track. I wanted to take the rental car for a hot lap or two but the security gaurd thought otherwise...
Off to Bend today.
