OWIE!! My finger hurts!

My left ring finger is killing me! Why you ask? Well, I did an LT/Watts test at the Boulder Center for Sports Med. yesterday and during the test they draw blood about 8-10 times. To keep the pain in one area they prick one finger over and over. So, my left ring finger has 9 little holes in it and it's sore. Please, stop crying for me.
The good part is the test went well, unlike last time when I went into the test completely shelled and it was a waste of time and money. I had rested up for 2 1/2 days before the test so I was relatively fresh, a TSB of around 0 for those familiar with CyclingPeaks. My watts at LT are up to 275, and with some more threshold work coming in the next 3 weeks, that will rise another 5-10 watts before the Quelle Challenge Roth. After the actual test I sat down with Neal and we went over my plan up to race day. It's a good mix of distance and threshold work. I will be doing a 12 day block culminating with a 3 day camp at Lake Placid. Then it's some rest before Eagleman 70.3. Another 2 days of rest before hopping on a plane for Germany. A few easy days, a few days with some pickups and accelerations, then it's time to RACE!! I am really getting excited and nervous.
Packing for this trip has been tough. I leave the 30th of May, race twice, then have a week in Germany. Add to that the fact that from Germany I fly to Chicago to spend the 4th with my in laws, then leave the 6th with my father in law and nephew for a fishing trip in the Northwest Territories, and I won't be home for 6 weeks! Try to figure out what to do with racing and training wheels, regular and aero helmet, nutrition, it's exhausting. If anyone knows how to ship wheels internationally for a reasonable rate, please let me know. The cheapest I found was around $400! I'm sure it will all work out though. As long as my passport comes in time. I called and it is still in process. They put a note on it to speed it up, but we'll see. Cross your fingers for me.
OK, a quick post as I have some hill repeats calling me, then it's the noon time masters, a quick spin, an easy 2nd run and some yoga to finish out the day.

All the best,
AJ
