Evan Elken is kinda fast. Seriously.
Here's how the sprint at Swan Island went.
1 lap to go and it's some random dude, Crazy Cardio Carl, then Dirty Dave, then myself, with everyone else on my wheel. Drag. Everyone I wanted to be in plain sight with one lap to go is now behind me, where my eyes are not. Half lap to go, Carl's gone, Daves giviner all he's got and BAM he's got no more. As he blows he simultaneously wheezes something that sounded like "ghgaamaa" but turns out he said ADAM which is short for Curry, who happens to be RIPPING up the left side at about 80 miles an hour. I pull some massive acceleration out of pure nothingness to get on the wheel behind Curry(after punting some dude out of the way (such is life)) and I think "life is sweet." I've just gone from swamped and finishing 20th to being inches from grabbing the golden ticket. Curry finishes his heroic pull, turns right, I start the final push to get around big tall guy from the Wine Team and just as I pull halfway up to him and run completely out of jet power, and out of the corner of my eye I see this orange UFO go bbbrrwwaaAAAA!!! up the outside and demolish both of us by about 4 bike lengths. Woah.
The rest of the race was uneventful for me. I was lazy and hung out in the middle the whole time. The Gallery team were all over every break on the road, trying to get something started. They must have missed Tuckerman.
In other news, I'll be a certified EMT in 4 short weeks, so watch where you fall and break your hip from now on, chances are I'll be out to lunch.

A little more Gleukos next time and you'll be golden. Or still pale but first.
Storm Saxon,
I agree. If I too were to have some more GLEUKOS, I would have been givin' her full gas to the last corner and not just to midway down the back straight. And the result.....
Maybe a little different but I doubt it. Even uses the stuff too so that's why he won.
So you got third, but did you actually show up? Jamie?
Good thing you're getting your EMT cert soon . . .you keep burning David's matches like that, one of these days you might end up having to do a little CPR on him!
