First Day in the Mountains and Other Ramblin's
312 (beep beep beep) - 1494 - 302 (work that lawn!)
Before going further, I should really (really) go for a run tonight to up that 302, but it just aint gonna happen.
Anyways, the usual plan of attack for the 1500 hundred is about 200 in the morning, 300-400 at lunch, which gives 900-1000 for dinner. That is my secret plan, make dinner about like it used to be.
Well, today was the long awaited return to Vietnam Star with some of the guys from my softball team for lunch. Very tasty...has one of those lazy susans in the middle where everyone shares dishes...soo good. But it meant that the 900 happened at lunch. Pretty sure I need to not do that very often, as gosh, what a long rest of the day with nothing to look forward to (food wise...savinig grace is coming home to a smilin' B).
And on to Le Tour...I'm beginning to think that this thing is going to be won when some decent rider gets away for 15 minutes on one of the mountain stages because there is no motivated, dominant team to drive the train and make sure it doesn't happen. And there isn't anyone who is a sure bet to be able to take back that much time...Landis could do it...Kloden could do it...but I sure won't say that they (or their depleated teams!) should do it. Discovery might still actually be the strongest GC team, but they might not have the GC guy to feature in the time trials, and who can get the 2-3 minutes he needs on one of the mountain stages. Salvodelli could maybe if he is in form, and I hope that George finds some form he's never had.
But if someone goes and grabs 15 or 20 minutes tomorrow (and they could, that profile is like a sawblade), it just might stick.
