Okay, my attempts at being a super villain and world domination are pretty fruitless. I guess I'm just too nice of a guy.
Sometimes when I have a specific work out to do, as prescribed by this guy, I'll ride with my MP3 player. I enjoy the music, and I find it pumps me up a bit.
Funny thing though, when the effort starts, everything gets really quiet. I can't hear the music anymore. All I hear is my rapid breathing, and the only thing I am aware of is how hard I am pushing.
I'd like to say I was thinking about my rivals, or the mabra promoters who hate me, or even Tom McDaniel who will talk trash to me all cross season and at every cross practice. I mean do you know how many times I have answered the phone at work the morning of cross practice to have Tom yelling at me?
ME:" thanks for calling the clog factory, this is Marc speaking..."
Tom: "YOU ARE SO GOING DOWN TONIGHT, AT PRACTICE YOU ARE MINE. have a nice day..."
All that bound up antagonism, all that bulletin board stuff, but I don't think about it. It's just breathing, and suffering, and as soon as the effort is over, I can hear my music again- loud and clear.
kinda weird, but kinda cool too.
Maybe I'll never be a super villain, but I'm keeping my doomsday device:

So, you want to be a super hero, that's why you like wearing lycra, right ???
That's right, Judi. He's actually a superhero, and Marc's lycra is immune to insults about previous and off-season weight, repels smaller 'cross riders, and exudes good humor. Sadly it does nothing to protect Marc from craft brew and Mexican food, which are his kryptonite.
And, given that it's black, it's marvelously slimming. Though that's not a facet of his stuff being superhero clothes, it's just a nice feature, kind of like the full zipper on road jerseys.
Ps. Just 40 days left in the desert, Marc.
You need to be WAY more of an asshole to be a super villain. Take it from me, besides even good guys can have doomsday devices, specially when used on the "bad" guys.
