The countdown is on - I have a doc appt on Aug 18th to get this damn cast off and it can't come soon enough. I feel bad that I am wishing the summer away, but summer isn't much fun with a cast. Even when it's super-awesome-cool green. Teammate Sonja took some pics of me sporting my cast at Hains Pt earlier in the week - havent seen them but will post when I do just so you, too, can appreciate the shock value.
On a very-much-related subject - seems all the cool kids are doing it. No, not THAT - I mean breaking their respective wrists. First it was Gesink, then the Pope (he had surgery this am) and now Levi. I don't know the detail for the first two, but Levi said he broke the schaphoid which means he will be sporting a cast similar to mine for at least a couple months. Wonder if he'll get it Astana blue ? Or green, to be like me ?
Very sad to see Levi have to abandon - he was riding strong and, as someone said in some blog somewhere recently, Levi is one of the few men who can make bald kinda cute. Hey, I'm single, I'm allowed.
These last few stages of the Tour have been less than exciting as we await the Alps ... the long, flat stages simply aren't exciting until the finishing sprint unless there's a wreck (bad karma to hope for that). The best of those stages was Stage 3 where Columbia used the cross winds to create an unexpected split.
As an aside- I appreciate a good sprint as much as the next girl (especially since I can't sprint my way out of a paper bag. wait. that doesn't really make sense. you get my point.) but each stage that Cavendish wins seems to give him that much more arrogance - as a general rule, guys, confidence is hot. Arrogance, not so much.
Happy Friday - enjoy the weekend.

My interpretation of the blog comment that I read from a gamjam mid-atlantic ambassador was that it implied the opposite about Levi or at least his sexy. Of course, the one I am referring to was made by a man.
