Meeting old friends at Gerardmer

Isn't it ironic ..? No I'm not going to start quoting Alanis Morisette (besides rain on your wedding day ISN'T ironic, it's just bad luck) but isn't it ironic that the only moments i seem to have time to write something for my own web pages is in the two days before and after a race, tapering or recovering? But hey, I'm not complaining. Just got back from the pasta party where the Gerardmer race confirmed its reputation of 'Best Pre-Race Dinner Provider'. Scott Sports are here with their impressive Big Black Bus, VOMaxine has a booth at the expo right next to Scott. I'm meeting with old friends here, even though I only first met them at the beginning of this season. Tomorrow will be my big dress rehearsal for my All or Nothing big race in Barcelona, next October. I've got the Fast Forward Wheels on my Plasma, got my official Project Superman race gear, I got new, wofter laces for my lightning-fast Scott T2 shoes. And for the first time in my life, I will be wearing compression tights for racing. Let's see where it'll get me.  At the very least, I should post my best swim split ever and my best overall performance, tomorrow.
