This week I was planning on being home snuggling with my 100 pound rottweiller but instead I wrestled my 100 pound bike box down to Columbia. The second World Cup is this coming weekend and the original plan was for me to be home for training. But, all has changed and I am here to race the Team Pursuit. :)
We headed back to LA last week... I caught a nasty little cold... I am hammering the vitamins and sleep... and, we are all hoping I am healthy in 3 days!
Too many bikes... way too heavy... made for a headache for team management. Although we eventually got on the flight, 5 of our bike/equipment boxes didn't. My bike happened to be one of those five so today I went without a bike. Rumor has it that the bike is here now though.
Travel was long. Weird to travel about 15 hours and only change 2 or 3 time zones. Finally arriving in Cali, we load all the boxes into a moving truck and pray they show up at the velodrome.
This track is a covered, open air velodrome and beautiful. You can slightly see the mountains in the background from this photo.
Not everything is as high tech here. This is a music system I found. No promises this is the one they will use during competition though.
Must sleep now... more later.

I hate it when one day I think I'm chillin' at home and the next day I have to be in South America at the World Cup. It hasn't actually happened to me yet, but I feel like if it does, it'll be a little disconcerting for everyone involved.
:) good luck and I hope you feel better by race day!
