Riders of the Storm

A thunderstorm caught me on my bike about a third of the way to Annapolis today. But I kept going, and a few hours later a torrent of water, a ton of gravel and I all arrived safely at my parents' house. There was a dicey bit where I was on this flat, elevated stretch of Race Track Road in the pouring rain. I could actually see lightning flashing and striking around me, but sometimes there's nothing to do but keep going.

Dear Tom,
Weather forecasts are your friend.
Love,
Tom

Apparently Sarah Palin ran a 3:59 marathon in 2005. New marathon goal: beat Sarah Palin. I wish she wasn't so fast, though.

I found this picture of me and Emily today from freshman year. It's even got the date on it, which is cool: October 11, 2004.


Radio Shack filmed a whole bunch of commercials with Lance Armstrong. I think it's gonna be awesome if they get a podium finish out of someone else after all that. I think I prefer to cheer for Leipheimer anyway.

And today I sent in my entry for the JFK 50 miler. I hope I get in, I think.
