Well, true to our word Lila and I have been not training. We have an meticulously designed training routine that involves a lot of hanging out, chilling, couch-sitting, gymming, and a minimal amount of bike riding.
Today CU put on a race at the Qwest research park. Lila had a very solid 8th place (2nd in the field sprint) in one of the strongest fields she's ever raced in and I managed a 4th place in the cat 2/3 race. Overall a good day.
But it's Stephanie's birthday so we're off to engage in some beer drinking and shenanigans. We've got some pictures, that may or may not suck and even now Lila is conjuring up a retelling of this very story that will be neither bland nor boring. Check back soon.

and we're back..
First let me remind everyone that this is a shared blog. All the funny posts are Lila's. All the excruciatingly boring posts that ramble on in monotone about the particulars of various races and group rides are mine. But with Lila setting the amusement-bar so high I will attempt to do better.
Anyway, the Hickey Racing Clan (TM) is back with a vengeance. Our goals are to slit throats, win money, drink beer, and do it all with less fitness than our competitors. I am going to learn to race like a big guy... I've gotta haul this 80kgs around so I might as well start using it to push little guys out of my way.
My riding fitness is currently really bad but a lot of other stuff is good. Work is more stable and structured than it was a year ago. My core is solid. I am squatting more than I ever have and my diet is the best it's been in years. Plus I invested in an electric razor so when I start shaving it will be faster and with fewer cuts (in the meantime I'm using the razor on my face which is working nicely).
Lila and I have been getting the bikes tuned up in preparation for our awesome training regiment. Coming up... expect pictures, a tentative race schedule, and an insiders perspective on which crits offer the best opportunity for public drunkenness.
