I realized something

about G-ster weekend just now. It took someone telling me something that I didn't think was entirely true, well pretty much not true, to get me thinking about it.

I got chewed out by JD for bitching at the last edition of the Steadman's Cross Race down in south county. Calling as I saw it from face value was I guess not cool esp since I had no idea of the history.

I probably came off as pretty critical with the TJ tire rolling at Glahstah focus that drew all the attention off the race at the front. Yeah he rolled it, yeah he came back, but that's all anyone heard about from the point he went down until the end. Enthusiasm is nice. Local biased coverage is acceptable, heck home field, no worries.

it is what it is - i call it like i see it - and it doesn't always come off free from malice - like the new side bar says: "I am really not as much of a jackass in person as it would seem reading this at times..."

And so you bring it back to that cartoon that has JD written all over it. (I posted it originally here.)

And with that - (I'm realizing I'm doing it all wrong - waiting till the end to be positive but then, well I'm going to assume that one starts at the beginning and waits till the end to form judgement - at least in a short little bit of prose - or what passes for it) - where was I?

Oh yeah. The realizing something. I realized that Chris and Richard called one of the best G-ster's ever. Well the best in the last four years in my worthless opinion. They both hit the combo perfectly. Maybe I'm getting used to their style, but for the first time there wasn't a single phrase that felt like fingernails on a chalk board. Not one. That's a good thing btw. In case anyone gives a shit. Yeah and in case anyone hasn't noticed, i'm pretty hyper critical of everything... making me sound like a freaking insensitive asshole quite often.

Either way I've got a sleeping dog at my feet. She seems to be a bit better tonight. Coach is going to be pissed though, didn't get on the bike today. Oh well. Balancing fatigue is tough. Hopefully this won't throw the plan off. Going to see about getting back on the plan tomorrow. unfortunately I think that the 1 hour of Z3 work i was supposed to get in today probably is really needed. The longest ride I've had in the last few weeks was Gloucester Day 1 (not counting the warm up - and that was even longer than a single ride I'd done). Missing the long rides that the Smack Down gave me. Oh well hey - it is what it is...

alright - i keep falling asleep writing... this entry is going to go down as one of the suckiest... but it is what it is - a reflection of the moment. which is really what all this stuff is. No?
