It rained all day today and I didn't get a chance to do anything outside. Instead I put in just twenty minutes of riding on the bike trainer. I was able to work up a good sweat while watching the Sox bow out of the playoffs. Somehow it doesn't hurt nearly as much now that they've won one.

I'm all set to race tomorrow. I didn't spend the time I usually do cleaning my bike because I know how disgusting and filthy it will be tomorrow. Cleaning it now would just be stupid. I'm really looking forward to some wet conditions.
