Sleepless in Bloomington

This weekend was awesome besides the jackasses in the hotel my Mom and I stayed in. They had loud music and where loud until about 5 A.M...So that was great...Anyways, the weekend,was great although cold and windy with a bit of snain (snowish rain) it was ok.It must of been horrible for the riders though. Wind makes riding so much more difficult. I am really glad I went...I thought I would be way more emotional, but I suprisingly was not. I think I was just very happy to be with my friends and seeing the race I should have been in. Considering exactly 1 year ago I was like a wet noodle, could not talk or open my eyes and needed 100% assistance to even stand. When I did stand I would be exhausted after 5 minutes. Yesterday, I stood holding on to the fence of course, for 2 1/2 hours watching my buddies race in the Little 500!I do not know the exact place they came in, but for where they qualified they did great! After the race my Mom and I went to the tean cookout...That was great! I guess a bunch of my friends commented on how much healthier I looked and how much less I shake when I eat. It is nice to hear that stuff. Especially from people you do not see often. The notice the biggest changes. Well I am proud of the team,everyone who helped plus (the whole Rigney family),the fans,friends and I am real glad my Mom took me!
