04.05.05 - a miracle happened on irma street

yes, it was a miracle. sunday i left my house wearing a light winter kit. temps in the AM was around 35.

two days later - as i left my house today, i was wearing shorts and a regular jersey over a light base layer. hence - a miracle.

starting a next phase of my training schedule for IOWA, concentrating on rest. as you build up hours, you beat yourself down. to come back stronger, you have to rest just as hard. as a guy, we all know we cannot back down from a challenger even if we are riding a 35 pound k monkey and he is on a stupid light road bike -- but you got to. there is bigger fish to fry....

parts update: FSA has sent out my swag, and here is what coming some things changed!

orignal part list was incorrectly linked to the wrong bar - and the post, well. the offset is a little too much.
