Short and fast race. I took two primes, once from the field and once from the break with John Minturn. Our two man break was caught a little while later when the field got their act together. After that, had to work some to chase down a 3 man break with help from Andy's. When John attacked with a lap to go, I didn't react as I was a bit back and nobody else reacted either and he was gone for the win. My bad. The final sprint was fun though, weaving through lapped riders, guys that went too early, fans, dogs, kids on bicycles, cars, etc.

Since the Chagrin Race no longer has a 1/2 race going on, and since apparently I moved to Columbus a week ago, and I made if from my house to Grandview without getting lost, I'm going to go ahead and adopt the Grandview Races as my hometown race (that is until I put on the super secret race around my new house, that will probably be similar to the naked crit at collegiate nats....but a little more out of control and not having anything to do with cycling)

So Grandview was pretty killer today, good field, and more importantly a million people there to cheer us on, thanks to everyone who was there, I tried to drop out after missing the bridge up to the break and stayed in only because I didnt want to let everyone down who came to watch, thanks again.

Nate and Swain were rockin it with me today, Nate was awesome, Tim dropped out which im pretty upset about, not because he didnt finish but because I was lonely

I hope Swain is ready to live 2 miles from me, because he now does, this means 1) I will take him out and make him train like an animal 2) I will then make him go out and take a ride on the wild side like he was in college, which he is actually.....ok not really, but its a fun thought

So since the 8 races in 9 days are now over (wooohoooo!) and I am not unemployed its time to find a Job, if anyone who reads this can help me find a job in the Columbus area it would be greatly appreciated, I have a BA from Miami University in Geography, and Environmental Science (Geography WHAT was I thinking?!?!?!)....seriously, I willing to do anything, email me if you have any leads gammryan@hotmail.com

and if you sign me up for one of those 'adult' websites ill hunt you down and wake you up in the middle of the night with a boat air horn
