Let the chips fall where they may. The only one that I really think will be
in the top three for sure is Cooke. I have too many other favorites to
squeeze into the top three to speculate. I like Lynn G and B, but I hope
Armstrong makes top three. Dede too. I like Dede, she did a good TT at the
games.

No Question that she's one hell of a racer. This is going to be fun.
I really wanted to congratulate Suz and talk with her at the GMSR crit, but
she was a bit busy, as were we with the Canadian Jr coaches trying to injure
each other.

Yup, I'd like to met them, but after hearing about how many fans are
predicted to turn out for the event in the dense congested space there in
SF, I opted out again this year as I am in the middle of a project anyway. I
wish they would hold it over by the cliff house, mega tons of space there by
the beach, tons of free parking space. We got into this last year but I'll
leave that to the powers that be. More then likely even a loop through
Golden Gate Park wouldn't provide enough climbing to rip the legs off the
girls.

At least they're not going to be at the Carolina Cup. Maybe I'll
manage to score some NRC points this season after all... that is if my
damn neck holds up - stupid spine, getting all out of joint and causing
me pain. I wish it would behave itself because it really is hard to
ride a bike when you can't hold your head up. Maybe I'll have to get
me one of them recumbent thingies... or not. NOT.

I think it's interesting that the pro women frequently do races on teams
other than their own "normal" ones. I lost track of how many different
teams Emma James talked about riding for last year in her diary.

A good chiropractor can really help that. Speaking from experience. (I
do realize that you may have already tried this, but still...)

Add in the twins (as mentioned in another post by 'emory', see below),
and you do have the ingredients for a very good race. I still lean toward N
Cooke winning again.

Just for the record, I forgot to log my hubby out and log myself back in - I posted that thing about the neck - and I did see a quackeypractor, but it didn't do much good. Massage, ice, Vioxx - still hurts. A master's world champ we have around here had the same thing last year - I'm going to see a ortho next week and if he doesn't help, I"ll go to this dude's chiro.

I will admit that chiropractors can be somewhat hit or miss in making
adjustments (on the other hand "real" doctors can be just as bad: I went to
a doc to seee about some knee pain and he vigorously twisted my lower leg
side to side a few times and I ended up limping out of there). I twisted my
knee at work a couple months ago and it felt fine at the time, but when I
went to climb some stairs or ride it was fairly painful. I was at the chiro
a few days later and he did some tweaks which made me feel much better
-then-, but the next day on the bike was even more painful than before. I
went back and he did a couple different tests, said, "Oh, I guess I missed
that entire muscle group", did a some more tweaking and I was much better.

i screwed up my neck once- constant pain and couldn't turn my head at
all, couldn't support any weight with my left arm. (i took a lot of
ibu.during the day and "tylenol pm" at nite to help me sleep, else i
didn't sleep, and i wore a cervical collar to support my giant head)

anyhow, i hope you get some relief. normally i don't like to take
anything that could screw up my liver, but that time i didn't care if
the pills killed me as long as the pain stopped. are you sure you should
race/ride when your neck is injured? (read this in your favorite
interfering relative's voice)

Yeah, I really worry about taking drugs like Vioxx - one of my teammates is an who's an ortho said I need to take it every day for 14 days for it to have an effect. That's serious [censored], I'm afraid to take Tylenol. I don't take any meds - it's crazy what people will ingest on the advice of their docs. A teammate of mine was taking like 5 serious Rx's at once. Nuts.
Anyhow, I blame my neck problems on job stress, riding my track bike and years of banging my head at clubs and rocking out in my band. I used to seriously come home with whiplash from being such a bad ass rocker. Ahh, but those glory days have been replaced with possible cervical myelosomething or other or maybe osteoartritis or some [censored]. I'm getting old.
But at least I'm not fat.

Yet. I've been perfecting my chocolate chip cookie recipies lately, and if I can't ride I might just start to suffer from it.

I've often thought the same thing, but if you consider the daily fistfuls of
vitamins that health nuts (for lack of a better term) and prescription drugs
the sick and elderly consume, intuitively you'd think the liver is a pretty
hardy organ.

yer probably right, but specifically on tylenol, 20 years ago, the
remedy for liver damage (or prevention of) by tylenol od was the most
disgusting tasting thing in the world that i know of yet. so even if
it's rare, it's not something i want to take. then there's this kind of thing-

i'd rather drink than take pills if i have to choose one,

My doctor said that the liver can become tolerate to drugs, and really take
a beating. Lush Limbaugh was taking what? about 60-70 Oxycontin a day. That
just boggles the mind that his liver could tolerate that. I have a friend
who hurt his back big time and he takes 8 to 10 norcos a day, for almost 10
years now since he started at several a day. He takes Milkthistle, garlic
and other things to offset toxic effects. Tests indicate his liver is still
doing well. Tylenol, that's funny a bit, I don't worry much about that, I
take aspirin and sometimes painkillers when my back goes out, or double
strength excedrin for migranes which are rare for me.

Ha! Yer so funny. Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think so. (Not
Hiroko either. She can climb, but doesn't have the power.) I did entertain
the fantasy of going off the front and nobody chasing b/c they don't think I
can pull it off. But alas, no one was letting me go anywhere. Only tried
once, but that was enough.

Actually, I had very modest goals for this race. It just about killed me
last year, and I was rather dreading it these past couple weeks, since I am
waaaay past my peak for the season. Power climbing is not my forte. Last
year, I was OTB before the end of the first long lap, and dropped out near
the end of lap 2 with a splitting headache. This year, I just wanted to go
1 more lap. So they go and make us do one more lap than last year, where's
the love. I never imagined I would feel so much stronger this year until
our training ride on the course saturday. It suddenly seemed do-able. But
I still just raced with the sole objective of just finishing in mind,
meaning pacing myself on the climbs instead of attacking them aggressively-
I was afraid of blowing myself if I did that. I guess I wish I had been
more aggressive now, but I'm pretty happy with simply finishing, (just a few
seconds off the main pack) since more than half didn't finish at all.

Thanks to all who came out early to cheer for us, it really helped us to
push through the pain!
