I don't want to start a "Racing Failure" thread, so I'll put this here.
Last Sunday I was pretty sick (hacking up some nasty stuff), but I had already paid my $'s to enter and the race was local. I decided to show up anyway and give it a go. That is not the failure part.
On the first lap of the crit I'm spinning like mad and just keeping up. I'm thinking "WTF? I'm not feeling good, but this is just weird." During the second lap I look down and I'm in the small chain ring. I felt so stupid. Still do.

When I go to a charity ride I am a cycling god. When I go to a fast club ride I am off the back in the hills and I'm the guy the new guys mark for their first conquest.

Rode outside both days this weekend. Apparently rediscovering the guitar in the basement all winter was not effective cross training.

Here are the options:
1) Orgo: She and I are doing alright because the chemistry just feels organic.
2)Bio: We get along well, but when I'm around her all I can think about is sex. And I can never tell when she's getting all hormonal on me.
3) Physics: The more I think about it, I think I might be falling for her. She's thrown me for a centripetal loop every now and then, but the string snapped and it's all parabolic from here.
4) Gen Chem: At the rate at which we're going, I can't figure out if we're moving forwards or backwards. She's also quite diffuse...
5) Verbal: We can talk for hours, but we never seem to agree on anything.
Decisions decisions....

Boss update:
He's out of the hospital, off the oxygen, and bored at home.
We still shouldn't see him until next week though.
