Llamas. I love Llamas! How could you not love these adorable creatures. I realized how much I really love them yesterday at Table Rock Road race. Hard race, feeling the pain, and then I look over and what do ya know???? A Llama is staring me in the face. Well, maybe not right at my face, but it certainly seemed like it. And it made all my pain go away. Well, not really, but close…and I realized…that’s what Llamas are on this earth for. To make me feel happy on painful rides. How can you not feel happy when you see a face like this????
Hello! My name is LLAMA and I am here to make you happy!
Alpacas are pretty cute also, but they are less common in these parts. This guy forgot his appointment at the barber, but he still looks pretty darn cute.
Is there actually an alpaca under all that hair???
In other news, I raced 2 races this weekend. Roubaix and Table Rock. Roubaix went well…until the end when I managed to botch the sprint and went way to early and lead the other 2 women out perfectly. Way to go Karey.
Table Rock went extremely well in my perspective and I stayed with the pack (or what was left of it) much longer than I had anticipated and only dropped off after climbing the long hill for the second time. 4 of us chased for a bit and settled into a good pace and finished the race together. I finished 4th in the 3’s which was an excellent placing for me considering the extremely hilly course.
In other news, my power tap is on it’s way home!!!!!!! It should be here some time this week and I am so excited!!!!! It just better work for a while longer than a measly 6 months like it did last time.
I think that’s it…Llamas, Alpacas, racing and Power tap. Yup, that’s about it. Oh…and Willamette. If you are an Oregon racer and you are reading this you should SIGN UP FOR WILLAMETTE STAGE RACE!!!!! If Mike and Sal don’t get enough people signed up by tomorrow (Tuesday April 21), then the entire race will be cancelled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SIGN UP!
One last thing. My boyfriend did really well this weekend at racing, so you should check out his blog if he ever updates it. 
Here’s a picture of him getting his sprint on at Roubaix.
i also like baby sheep. not lambs, baby sheep. they are very cute, and i get very happy when i see them, and then i ride faster. zoom!
