that just seem like ya firing on 3 of 8 cylinders?
Not sure why i'm feeling so slow - worn out - trying some tunage to see if it gets me jazzed...
it was a slow mellow ride in... legs feel pretty cooked right now... yes... legs legs legs...
after work on saturday my wife came home and said "i was reading your blog, and it was all about "My Legs" my legs legs legs legs legs...."
yeah... so a cyclist has an abnormal obsession with how the legs feel...
It is the same as a driver/mechanic. Always obsessing about the engine, listening, aware, all that stuff... the engine/legs drive us...
Maybe the slow start this morning in the foggy mist set the tone... it was mellow, slow paced... Replaying some of the race in my head - wondering where i could have gone harder - faster, smoother - where i should have gotten off and run (can't kick the crosser out of my riding it seems)... Wondering if the Mantra and the granny gear might have made a difference spinning through some of the more technical sections instead of grinding it out in the 36x28 low gear... There is always next year...
Course - pre-ride... or take both Mt Bikes next time... thinking i gotta just put the suspended fork back on the mantra... stuff like that - post race wondering...
realization: despite the number of miles, the time spend on the bike, even the numbers of races i've done, the race series that i've won, and all that stuff... until 2006 and even only 1/2 way through it, i haven't put a consistent string of races together since 1998... the time off seems to have erased or pushed WAY back out into the remote archives in my brain all the racing knowledge... kinda strange...
That and my flow just sucked on the Mt Bike... it wasn't bad, and the power made the simple sections pay dividends... but... i just wasn't feeling the groove that i'm used to... It was a freaking BLAST... but the groove, the smooth, the flow... not quite there...
it'll be interesting to see how the times spread out between the different classes and age groups... when they are all posted...
Gonna eat some food - maybe that'll help wake me up...
Oh and linkage - Murat's wells ave vid... worth a look - maybe i should head up one day and hang in a race or two for the hell of it...
respect

The beginning of that video is like an IBC promo. I like it!
You should give Wells a shot for sure. Good training, (mostly) very safe, and you're done by noon if you're doing the A race.
Glad someone responded favorably, thanks. Could there be a Chris Hinds Crit video coming up? We'll see if the camera works in such cold temps.. tends to konk out under 40 degrees. Ninigret always seems 10 degrees colder than the rest of RI.
