We're in the final stages of pre-race, administrative planning for the Nor'easter, and are taking a slightly different approach to the race day schedule. What's unique about the Nor'easter, of course, is that it's not just a 'cross race. It's a music festival, with a world-class climbing competition AND a 'cross race. So there are a lot of things to schedule around.

It's key that the feature events for the 'cross race are done before the finals for the climbing competition on the same day, and before headlining bands take the stage. To that end, here's what you're looking at for a race day schedule:

I guess it's a big week for me to do telephone interviews? More a coincidence than anything else, but I was flattered to be asked to be interviewed by John Koury, of Two Johns Podcast fame. We did the interview last night, and I haven't listened to it yet, so I hope I don't sound too ridiculous. I was pretty happy with the text of the Cyclocross Magazine phone interview, in as much as it sounded like me when I reread it.  Hopefully that holds here as well:

Holy shit, did we really talk for 75 minutes? That's like, an hour plus a lap!

Back to vacation now... Thanks again to John Koury for the chance to run my mouth.

I had been planning on a blog entry on the topic for a couple of weeks here, but with all the racing, traveling, crashing, and coaching, I end up getting enough of my thoughts out on Twitter in the limited time available to write about it. I never did get back here to get more in depth.

That said, spending an hour on the phone with Josh Liberles from Cyclocross Magazine chatting about it helped me get my thoughts down, and went up today:

Enjoy.
