May has been upsy downsy.. Ive re-visited my old life with a passion I used to know only a long time ago. I love using my brain and I dont think ALL research is overrated (just most of it :) .. havent you heard?? Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach!!)

Lets see, some of the highlights of May were:

Running up a big mountain pass in the falling snow with torn shoes, I will not forget that!



This was a very special weekend. I was out with some fantastic friends, had so many laughs and lived to train for the whole weekend. Given the hectic pace of life including the happy parting with my last set of idiotic roommates, this was icing on the cake. Honestly, I have a theory about idiots.. there are plenty of them and their distinguishing characteristics are insecurity, incessantly offering free unsolicited opinions and an inability to stop talking. So, remember the 3-I test to identify idiots :) Maybe it should be the 5I test (insecuity, incessant advice, inability to stuff it to identify idiots). Man, I might be a genius undiscovered :)

I went on a long long ride that day with nothing but my thoughts to play with me.. and I loved that too!




I suffered another week with said pathetic roomies before doing a duathlon as a training race.. My nose was running the whole time and this was the onset of a viral cough. I travelled around the world in 2 hours, which was kinda cool! I got to see Japan............ and eat authentic sushi. YUM!

I slept a lot for a week.. went to my cousin's wedding and swam in a lake. I also met some awesome kids who were very psyched about sport. I get to meet my best friend or one of my best friends after a very long time and I am looking forward to some good riding, in the days to come. I had a much needed vacation and I am stronger mentally for a few months of hard work.

Onwards we go!
