Also, despite feeling like I really messed up my econ final, I actually got 2 standard deviations above the mean and secured an A in the class (1 SD above is an A). Now I just have to wait for the rest of my grades which should be As. Highest distinction? High distinction? What will it be?
I have a few weeks with nothing to really do. I can start throwing stuff away as I prepare to move across the country. I can try to find a job where I get to play in the forest all day. I can try to find a cycling team so I can race my bicycle all day. Right now, though, I'm really tired, and I think I'll need a little break from bike racing after nationals.
Regionals took a lot out of me. Monday I went on a ride with Kristen. She thinks she is slow, but I assure you, she is not. Yesterday I didn't ride, and today I did an easy spin.
I decided to venture onto some dirt roads outside Ann Arbor today. These are really hit or miss, and today was a little bit of both. I went out Whitmore Lake to Joy. Joy was much better than it was in the fall when I rode it with John. Much less gravel and it was actually pretty smooth. Then I rolled through Dexter to Parker and finally to Liberty. Liberty was not a nice dirt road. On some sections, it was so bumpy, and my arms were vibrating so much that they went numb and I felt like I could have easily lost my grip and fallen into a pit of dirt and gravel. Luckily, this didn't happen, and I made it home 25 miles later with a little more dirt on my bike than there was before. It was a nice ride because I physically went easy, but it was a mental challenge on the dirt to choose the right lines, stay focused, and not get scared.

Good luck at nationals! Don't worry about a team to ride with now since your moving away. I'm sure you find a good one in Seattle.
Nice job at Regionals by the way! Thanks for the nice comment about the A riding, I couldn't have been happier about the weekend (well, I could have done better with my good pack position on Sunday, but you know what I mean).
