hey all - don't know how much more i'll get to post this week as i need to get in a ton and a half of miles and then head out to toronto.
wobblenaught fits are going to be held off until next week as this week is getting too hectic already. juggling work and riding is difficult enough, then throw in a couple of hours for a fit -- just not going to work this week.
sacrifices, sacrifices....
it's going to be a good year though, so i am pretty pumped. 4 24 hour races on the schedule should keep me busy and this year i am doing a ton of enduro's as well. the enduro's seem to be fitting in nicely with my workout schedule. for some reason, to me it is a lot easier getting in a 8 hour race then to go out on a 8 hour ride. guess because my mind doesn't wander off and i am too freaked out about stopping. sometimes races can be the best training - so that is why during the season i don't get hung up on placings in road races or events that i don't consider my main races. have to keep it real, yo. and i can honestly say that racing with that type of attatitude has really kept racing and riding exciting for me. i have seen a ton of guys come and go whom raced every single weekend and all they concentrated on was placing well. ya, doing well is great -- but if you are not having fun, then you will never succeed in the long run. short term goals will overwhelm the longterm goals and you'll quit racing/riding and play playstation all day. seen it a million times.
ah, enough ranting. if you are racing - keep it real. have fun. if that means riding 24 hours or 24 miles or 24 feet, so be it. make it a passion and you will succeed.
man, i think i should be a motivational speaker.
gotta run - have to meet the boss man in a little bit.
sologoat out.
