Okay hide and seek. Here we go, 1-2-3…. and Roddi has been hiding for the past 3 weeks in a world championship game of hide and seek and yes, he won it. Unfortunately it was a long game and it made his friends bored because they could not read his upbeat web site blog about how great Champion city is and how unfortunate Vancouver is to have the shame of BC, the Canucks (kind of an inside joke but it should make perfect sense).
It has been a pretty tough go for me the past 2 races. I thought I was feeling good after a few days of hard training leading up to the Hardwood Hills Canada Cup. But then in the race I felt horrible and dropped out early like the Canucks in the playoffs. In the days following the race my coach and I rode together and it was obvious that R 2 H had some fatigue in the legs and we tried to give them a bit of rest for the World Cup yesterday at St Anne. Unfortunately I felt the same and was unable to shake the Sedin twins from my mind and I sucked again. I’m quite dissapointed with the past to races and I’m hoping some different training can help me get going again.
10 reasons for not being fast like the wind.
1. I had a stomach issue for the past 2 weeks (Dier Rear).
2. As soon as #1 went away I got a cold.
3. It’s just that time of the month.
4. Baby fat.
5. I have to travel with golden boy Ricky Federau and his positive attitude is pissing me off.
6. I broke one of my high heels.
7. Roomie Stef “Salty Head” Widmer yells in his sleep and it scares my care bear.
8. Tim says, “you must need more coffee”.
9. There is no Fruit Loops in Quebec.
10. Country music
I’m off to the heart of Quebec tomorrow with Ricky and Tim to a place called Saint felicien. There is another World Cup there on Sunday and after that R 2 N S H (Roddi 2 Notti So Hottie) is coming back to Radmonton to prepare for the final Canada Cup in Canmore and then Nationals which are on the island at Mt. Washington. After that it’s the Trans Rockies and everyone better be ready for some serious Oprah marathon on TV while drinking drain-o and eating a smelly tuna fish sandwich and don’t tell me again that the competition just got faster or you may get jersey’d style suffering.
R 2 N S H (for now until futher notice)
You’ll always be R2H in my books.
#11 going to bed earlier and get up earlier like all athletes do…like Ricky does!!
