This is one of the best Fatty quotes on how to prepare to race
“Hand me a couple slices of pizza,” I said to Lynette. “I think I need to start eating again.”

Um…it’s Tuesday. And I have a meeting in 15 minutes. And I was expecting to have read, or to be reading this during that meeting. I know you have a j-o-b and stuff, but you did say “Tuesday.” I took that to mean at 12:01 a.m. Expectations. That’s what this is about. And me. Expectations and me. That’s what this is about.

I just binge read Race Reports #1-8 and all the comments. Fantastic stuff. Wishing Troy a speedy recovery.

I know the results but this is such a good report it still has me on the edge of my seat.

I wish I would have had a tablet with me in the hospital last week so I could have kept up with the reports as they come out and to provide fresh reading material. However it has been good to have a series of them last night and today to keep me occupied.

Even being the one who raced Fatty in the last leg, and thus being as intimately familiar with the results as one can be, I find myself very curious and excited to see how the final installment is going to be told. The suspense is killing me! :)

TUESDAY?!?!?!? GASP!!!!!

To PaulW – The cat may be out of the bag but it is still in the box. Until it is out of the box. And then it just waves its tail at you – mostly because cats lack the manual dexterity to show you significant digits.

I too sneaked a peek at the results, so I too have regret.

But amongst Fatty’s many super-powers is the ability to warp the space-time continuum; until this write-up is complete, the results are like Schroedinger’s Cat and are in an indeterministic state. The wave function won’t collapse until Fatty tells it to.

Which is another way of saying that Fatty’s writing is so good, that even though I thought I knew the results, I’m now not sure!

Get well soon Troy! Fatty this is a fantastic write-up. I wish I had the cycling endurance that you guys (on both teams) are showing!!
