Merry Maxmas

Well…Team Randall Scott Cycle's very own Max got a gig playing Santa on Christmas Eve and managed to scare a 2-year old into hiding for hours, make Billy Bob Thornton seem tame in Bad Santa and make a case of Amstel Light disappear (“Santa Magic” he called it). He also managed to pass out a few gifts before passing out. The kids thought it was great and the adults are considering therapy.
The off-season can be a time of release for athletes. After a year of counting calories, carbs, fat and protein grams, the holidays are a time to test the elasticity of the waistband and abuse the kidneys. After a couple weeks of surfing the holiday buffet a Speedo can quickly become a “Speedon’t” in the eyes of the world. Well January is right around the corner and the bell will again ring for the start of training. Long after the New Year’s Resolution fitness army loses its steam, those left will be getting ready to toe the line and see what they’ve got in the tank.
Racing is a great way to test equipment and 2009 will see Max and a few of his merry bandits take to the races on their Tommaso bikes. So tune back in often for training, tips and racing reports. Next week Max shows up for training camp and the initial weigh in…he better hope those Amstel’s were lights!
