Been thinking about this a lot lately. Not sucking ass at fairhill again, but cross. half way through my mountain bike season, and I'll be honest, I've found my thoughts wandering to cross. I Start looking at the calendar. Starting to dream of goals. Still have half a mountain bike season to go. Still have goal to accomplish. But still cross is so fun... Envy?
I haven't ridden one bit this week. Usually I would get pretty stressed out about it, but this week, work is crazy. We have our national sales meeting, and that dominating my time. In the past I would get up even more ridiculously early than normal to squeeze in a couple of hours here or there, but then I'd drag ass the rest of the day. Can't do it this week, need my A game at work, and so I've been cool about it. That's kinda weird, but I do what I can do. Maturity?
I was talking to someone and they said that I had a great system for team endurance events, and that we seemed to always do well. What was my secret. I replied this, "get teammates that are faster than you. It's worked really well for me." don't tell anyone. In that same vein I signed up for my first solo endurance event at Kuhn's farm. It's 6 hours, and despite my lack of riding this week, I am looking forward to it. I get that my role in endurance races has historically to be a good teammate, and pacing is really an issue for me, but I am excited to try a different challenge. So yeah, I'm gonna try a new longer event, and I prepare for by not riding. Stupidity?
I am looking forward to a nice ride Saturday am, although I might have to rock earlier than the Spot Boys due to and afternoon wedding. We'll see how it goes. I haven't done a full poker run in 2 years. I want the full monty this weekend. Obsessive?
Well, got to run, heading out for a dinner with the reps and folks from work. It should be a good time. The food is always outstanding, and plenty of it. This will be fun. I love being full. Gluttony?

YES!!! over time, yes. No, just silliness...you'll ride. Surely not. Not at all...FFA says eat ON!
The dogs miss me and would like me to dog sit next weekend...call me! Fahey H
Rest is the key to success. Rock on, my man!
Hey, The 6 hour race sounds great!!You probably needed a break after all those crazy mud races (like 'muchy + bulldog. Think of stepping up to the plate at W101 ??? You get a free pint glass if you finish and Elk is having a bake sale to help send Buck to SSWC06 !!! It's far enough away from cross season and all the cool people are going. Without LWebb there, who will represent from DE/MD at W101 ??

Intelligence?
I'm with Elk. Well rested. Work is squared so less stress. Get in a groove for six hours and roll.
Enjoy it!!
I had a nightmare about cross the other night...
Ya gotta take breaks, to quote Jane fonda, "your body is a temple, treat it as such"....she has a great ass and knows what she's talking about dude. $1 bet says you stomp the 6 hour.
Jane Fonda is an American traitor bitch. Staring at RaceFace cranks online for 15 minutes this morning? Idolatry.
