034: I heart steve nash

Let's say you are Steve Nash.
You are one of the 10 best point guards to ever play basketball in the NBA. Maybe even one of the 5 best. You are in China, on business, you see the kids down the street playing a little ball. I mean b-ball is your love, but you can't just roll up and be like, "hi, I'm Steve Nash, can I get next?" So you do what Steve did ala Woody Harrelson in White Men Can't Jump.

Bravo Steve Nash. Bravo.
Last year I started 21 cross races. I developed a wonderful little routine for pretty much each race.
Okay, at the junkyard race I didn't quite follow the same routine, but junkyard races kinda
throw out everything. Part of that routine included Radiohead and the in Rainbows album.
I admit I haven't listened to the album since cross season last year. When I listened to it this week it I felt myself immediately snapping into race mode. I walked around in race mode, just snapped into it. Kinda creepy, actually...
music association, consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
I love my cross bikes.
back to the lab tomorrow...

respect.
