Cooler recap

First, obligatory recap of cooler classic:
It sucked. The weather sucked, our team sucked, I sucked. Ok, that's a little harsh, but I'm just not in the greatest mood lately and there's so much about the weekend that could have gone better. From about noon on saturday until the weekend was over it rained CONSTANTLY, forcing me, Doug, Keith, and Baker to abandon camping and crash with the rest of the team in the hotel. We threw away the lead in three of our six losses, which is becoming a distressing theme for our team, against teams that we could have beaten. If not for a joke win against a bottom bracket team, and a good showing against the Van Buren Boys, the weekend would have been a total bust. As much as I didn't want to play that game going into it (it wasn't for anything, or two team's opponents had both bailed on our last games), it turned out to be for the best, since our team finally looked like we all hoped it could. There's still plenty of work to be done but it's an encouraging starting point. I just hope I'm capable of doing it. It turns out captaining a team is a difficult thing to do. It's more than just running practice (which Tim and Jacob do more of) and showing up on time (which isn't really my forte), you have to really lead the team. Hopefully we'll figure it all out.
Bright spot from the weekend though, was of course that it was overall alot of fun. That's because the team is full of fun guys who I genuinely like hanging out with. It of course helped that I was riding with Keith, Bake, and Doug, but overall it was a good time with the whole team. (And with some of the Briefcse people we were out with satuday night)
