So I'm back from the cruise and all tanned up. Everyone's initial reaction was that I didn't get any sun, but what we have to look at is my lack of tan lines, rather than darker arms and legs. A few of the pictures below show my early in the trip, racing lines and all. Now not so much. We ate tons, drank a few choice beverages and just worked on the 'ole CNS (Central Nervous System) all around. Shannon and I even made it to the 110 degree onboard gym for some serious sweat burning.
After my three week stage racing block I feel nice and refreshed and should be much stronger than before the trip. This weekend I will do the local CARVE crit at the Natural Resources center on Saturday, then drive up to St. Louis for the Tour de Wing Haven and put in my 2 cents for the $20,000 purse for one days racing!
