National Sales Meeting Hangover

So after a full week in Marco Island, FL, I'm pretty cooked.

Mentally, about 20 lbs of intellectual $hit was shoved in my 8 lb brain. Overload.

Physically, I was able to get about 10 hours of bike time down there. That should offset the out til 3 AM/up at 6 AM pace I sustained for 6 days.

The roads were flat and well paved. A bit of traffic. I do, however, have a tan line on my arms and legs. Nice.

Rode the Ridley for the first time since Sept. down there. Nice to get on that thing after the time spent on Orange Crush this winter.

Highlight/Lowlight of the trip was on the company sponsored "free day". I rode for 3 hours and joined my boys on the beach for some margarita time. We threw down some 'ritas for about 3 hours and then the HR problems began. I don't wish to divulge all the shenanigans but I did get thrown in the pool with the blackberry in tow...Good thing it was a manager who pushed me in. Makes expensing the phone go a bit easier. Salesguys are all the same: competitive, testosterone loaded, egomaniacs (author included).

Hoping for a few hours this week and some big days Saturday and Sunday. Racing starts two weeks from Saturday.
