The team had a very interesting start for today. At around 7:30 am, we were all informed that we had to leave and not return until this evening because the FFA had scheduled an all day camp today. Anyways, we didn't get the sleep we were planning on but I managed to squeeze in a couple naps today. We started off early by touring the campus and grabbing some fried chicken and an Arnold Palmer at Cane's. I also had the time to run to the bike shop to grab a new water bottle and other supplies (old one had a hole and fell in the road anyway). Lunch was sponsored by a Pi Alpha who rode in the year 2000, and afterwards we had a friendship visit at the Lubbock State Supported Living Center. We all played basketball, volleyball, tetherball, colored, and made some new friends. I met a gentleman named Kenny who I'm pretty convinced was the inspiration for the cookie monster in Sesame Street. He was a hoot; we hung out for a long time. Afterwards, I managed a phenomenal nap. Dinner was sponsored by the same PA from Tech who sponsored it lunch. Later, I ran to the mall with some guys and grabbed some more food and bought some vitamins at GNC. It's silly how much food I eat. We burn roughly 4 or 5 thousand calories a day so whatever I eat is basically just thrown into a furnace. Tomorrow, we begin the Triple Crown of the South: three days in a row of 100+miles in 100+degree heat. Keep us in your prayers. Here is a photo of Will Rogers statue here at Tech!
