Back To School

Well the big party weekend is over....Andrea is officially a Graduate Nurse w/ a BSNRN....unfortunately she is already back in the classroom. What a drag to graduate and then a day later be forced in the classroom for 40 hours of Mandatory NCLEX review...I guess one more test...the state boards..then its official.
























I also went back to school this weekend....it was a sharp learning curve too. WORS at Lake Geneva w/ Mom & Dad in attendance...I was feeling good, maybe a little tired from the graduation party, but ready to rock. I heard good things about the course and was pretty pumped. Lap 1 was fast...I was behing AJ in the first singletrack and a little gap opened to the top 3 of Jesse, Tristan, & Mike....I rode hard to close the gap and was feeling pretty good, Marko was chasing me but couldn't quite get my wheel. By the end of lap 1 five of us rode through and started the climb back on to the course. Tristan was riding like a girl so I took charge on the climb, a few minutes later, I was riding like a 5th grader and couldn't stay on two wheels. I crashed and Jesse and Tristan were gone. Mike was just in sight and I managaed to catch Marko's wheel. Then it got slippery, I crashed again, then it got slipperier.



























I composed, started chasing caught Marko saw Mike in the woods with a flat, but I knew Tristan and Jesse were gone. I think I crashed in front of Marko about 17 times....I think he crashed in front of me 13 times....it was pretty rad for a while...I should have let out some air pressure, but didn't want to flat on the rock garden. Finished up 4th on the day. Great day for Trek / Fisher on the podium! The day after and I feel like I got my ass kicked in a hockey fight from hitting the ground too many times...

Wings lost a heart breaker...do or die tomorrow night in Anaheim, series is 3-2 Ducks

Go WINGS!!!

back to work now....
