PHATHER'S DAY AT FILLIPS...........................Having kids that love the same sport as you do makes it easy to get a free pass to go racing even on Fathers Day. Now, we support our creepy little tax write-off's in all their activities (some of those earlier squeeky violin concerts of Meg's were particularly painfull), but I admit I have lucked out with the cycling thing. No complaints.
Meg, on the other hand, was doing a little complaining..... This was our maiden voyage at Phillips and the first 10 minutes of the pre-ride had her barking about the lack of technical singletrack. But 2 times around the lap portion of the course put a smile on her face and confidence in her pocket. On the way back in she says"I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I can do pretty good tomorrow"And good she did taking the overall win of 20 or so women including some of her best competition.
From whinning to winning....She's hillarious.
Jamie made the move to elite to race with the "bigshots". She was pretty nervous and had realistic expectations. At times she looked very good, and there were times later in the race when she looked pretty smoked. I think she did pretty well and she should improve when she gets used to the extra lap and overall speed of the race.
Then I came home Sunday to Andrea presenting me with this "Monster Wok on Steroids". This thing is SUUUUWEEEET!!!Now,I just need to make the time to have a few get-togethers.
It was indeed, a happy Fathers Day.

I on the other hand have struggled with a family that does not understand the passion.
