Just like last year, waking up too damn early to watch the tour is really wiping me out through the day. By the time I get home all I want to do is take a nap, which in turn means I stay up too late, then the no sleep domino effect begins. I think tomorrow I will just watch the last hour or 2 of the stage since I come home and rewatch the whole thing anyway with enhanced coverage! Haha, I guess I will see how that works out. I had to be up today though since it was the Team Time Trial and there is not much more amazing than seeing 9 guys pedal as fast as they can for 40km. When they would use the helicopter wide shot from the side, you could really get a sense of the speeds they were laying down. In the end Astana got back the 40 seconds Lance needed to take the Yellow, or did they? Lance ended up missing out on the Yellow by hundredths of a second. Pretty damn amazing they made up 40 seconds though, a real treat to watch. Astana still lead the team race and have 6 guys in the top 11.

Of course made it into the office a bit later cause of the Tour. Pretty standard day. Francis got in a lot of new Video Camera goodies (photo above). Can’t wait to see and use that thing. It’s funny how far cameras have come since the 1000. That camera is technically larger, but almost half the weight and not having to use tapes anymore is pretty dialed. I headed home between 5 and 6. Watched today’s stage again and had dinner.

Later in the night I Pwned my old iPhone 3G with 3.0 for Ryan. Works great, but it is being used on AT&T, so that is the usual case. Fantasy Factory filming on Thursday, Maloof Cup VIP status on Saturday. Knee is not super great, but I hope it is good enough for the hack race. I also hope S&M is finished with the hack tomorrow.
