Cant wait for sunday. well i can, sort of wish it was a different day, so much going on. it is what it is and it will be great. looking forward to seeing who ever happens to show up there for it.
Today was spent a bit differently. Needed a break from the picture factory, so I tried standing on a concrete floor for 7.5 hours. Was kind of fun. We'll see if it winds up feeding any new material to write about.
Some jackass quipped that I race like a Cat 5. Maybe I do. I certainly don't race enough to get any better on the road at least. CX i guess I'm hopeless. If I still suck this much after this many years of that many races, well, maybe i should hang it up and offer professional pit mechanic services as a way to stay involved in the sport, or maybe not bother with that either.
CX is a long way off at this point, too many other things to tackle and make it through before it is time to think about what the fall will bring.
One thing at a time.
So anyway I'm just not feeling crazy inspired to write lately. Those moments here and there that I used to find just haven't been there. And if they have, yeah, just nothing positive to say that i want to share.
be good out there. remember that even the small stuff matters.
Like racing, someone was interviewed (I don't remember who now) saying winning was 50% physical conditioning, the rest? 1% here 1% there it is all the little things that add up, life is the same. The little things do add up. Pay attention to them.

Last summer I was racing at the 35+ edition of the Freedom Criterium in Stirling, NJ.. I was on fire that day, great sensations in the legs.. slugging it out at the front every lap with some of NY/NJs finest 40-somethings in a big field of 75 opponents. Anyway.. one racer who didn't approve of my style of racing told me I raced like a Cat 4. I'm pretty sure he was dropped "like a fart in a hurricane" during the next big acceleration. Talk is cheap. Why can't I hold your wheel for more than 1/4 lap in a cross race?
"I race like a Cat 5" - to which _my_ response would have been "and you bitch like a girl"
