After a nice long weekend spent relaxing, racing, and eating everything in sight in Little Germany (Frankenmuth, Michigan), it was back to the day job. The only unfortunate thing about starting on a tuesday is that it is my longest day of the week. Work starts at 8, and i work at the velodrome until 5-6 before riding over to westlake to race, riding back to my car, and driving home. Today i was lucky because my dad was at the race and drove me back to my car (due to the rain that had steadily fallen during the race).
Anyway, onto the important part! Today Dave and I focused on trying to put the finishing touches on the stands. While we are very close to finishing, we still have a lot of work to do, and the heat and humidly are not helping! Trying to bolt together multiple pieces of framework fro the stands in 85 degree weather can be very challenging, and between Dave and I we easily went though 10-15 bottles of water while working (and we even took a short fan break where we stood in front of the fan inside our trailer...used to try to dry out wet carpet due to the multiple missing windows in the trailer after the firefighters tried to break in during the fire. We're making progress, and we should hopefully be finished by the end of the week!
