Wiens Beats Landis

Wow, Floyd Landis got beat by one of Colorado's own stars, Dave Wiens.
I heard Lance Armstrong was going to be there, too, but I don't see him in the stats. Wiens' bib was #1, meaning he was the defending champ from last year. Landis, being new to the race, was given a high #1220 because he was a newcomer.
Curiously, the top 6 riders coming into the last aid-station DNF'd! WTF?! Are bikers so competitive that they'll quit completely just because the won't place? Were they possibly protesting Landis, for whatever reason? Was there a major accident? All I know is bikers are a different breed. Their psyches and attitudes are way different from most runners.

All my tweaks and pains seem to be finally melting away. The cost, though, is that I haven't been getting in the walking I had planned. Only about a mile a day.
I'm not in the mood to deal with traffic on I-70 late on a Sunday, so it's easy to stay in town and sleep in.
There's lots of packing, planning, prep-work to do besides training. My living area is not a pretty sight. Gear and clothing are scattered everywhere. There's bags with markings, bags without, duct tape and Sharpie ready to slap a new label on another bag.
I soaked my socks and other white items (used to be white at one time) in a strong concentration of bleach and stain remover, with a dash of detergent. By all rights, it should have dissolved my socks! but did it get them any whiter? Not that I can tell. New socks should never come in white. They should come in various shades of beige, tan, brown, gray, etc.
