Kinesio Tape to the Rescue

My leg is getting worse.  Fighting compartment syndrome and still in a lot of pain.

I hope this helps... 

Ouchies!

The result of my crash on Saturday. It looks even worse now. I'm hoping the pain goes away soon so that I can race Coppi. My shoulder is pretty good unless I raise my arm over my head.

Van Gilder, Schempf and Gallagher high light C3-Sollay.com Cross team

Nationally renowned criterium specialist Laura Van Gilder will join the cyclo-cross scene this fall by joining the C3-Sollay.com 'cross team. Van Gilder has been a mainstay on the elite women's national road and criterium circuit for years with her explosive sprinting and aggressive racing style - both skills that team Director Kris Auer believes will help Van Gilder quickly adapt to the 'cross discipline.

Joining her on the squad will be Michael Gallagher, a multiple time US Armed Services National Champion racing with the elite men. Gallagher finished third in the MABRA elite series and looks for bigger results in 2008. The team will compete up and down the East Coast of the US, racing in the USGPs, the MAC and MABRA Series and targeting US Nationals in December. It will also promote the Charm City 'cross race, which last year drew 400 racers.

A new Chick in Black
joins C3 for cross season.
Care to make a guess?

The first person to correctly name our new rider will win something. I don't know what. It could be something crappy or something really good. Current Chicks in Black are not eligible.

Happy Friday

Since Plain Jane has not posted her TGIF segment yet, I give you this. Thanks Girloffroad. You made my day by sending this to me.
