Ahhh…stage one of Fitchburg complete and the good news is that I finished the tt…it may have only been 43rd place @1:22 back but I was happy to be racing and tomorrow will be better!  My teammates: Grahamo…2nd, Scotty…6th, and Teddy 9th…smashed it today. Nice job guys!

Anywho, this week while racing in Fitchburg we get to stay at the Fitchburg State College dorms which I am excited about.  While going to college I never had the opportunity to live on campus so here I am today…living the on campus dream!

 My dorm room which I share with Teddy.

 My roommate doing his homework.

 The common area.

What good is a dorm room w/o a girl?? Anyway, our helper for the week Laura!

 Unfortunately this semester Teddy is my roommate and Scotty is having a hard time dealing with it.  He often stops by in search of some comforting after arguing on the phone with his gf!

Okay time for bed…

night, g.

Last night was my teammate Teddy King’s hometown race…the Exeter Crit.  Therefore Richie, Scotty, and I were racing in support of Tedward hoping to get the hometown hero a win.  However, since it was my last full day in New Hampshire  I decided to make it a memorable one by crashing and landing myself in the hospital for a majority of the evening :(

Not exactly sure what happened aside from the fact that approximately halfway through the race a guy went down in front of me leaving nowhere to go except over my bars??? 

After an abulance ride to the hospital, x-rays, and follow up ct scan I was released with no broken bones which was good.  However, I am left with a massive headache, neck pain, and my shoulder and chest hurts when I breath…oh yeah and a massive bill!

Yeah I am probably whining a bit and need to toughen the f&%k up but it was definitely one of the harder falls I have taken in awhile and I am crazy sore.  More importantly it serves as one of those reminders of how fortunate I am and how in a matter of a few seconds that can all be taken away!

Anywho, tomorrow is the first stage of Fitchburg which will be interesting but I am going to give it a go.

Thanks to my teammates and to Teddy’s parents for helping me out!
