...To the bright side of the Road

Cross' season is on the horizon... Sweeeet! Cross is kind of the best of both worlds. Its got the technicality and individualism of mountain biking without the additions 2 hours of suffering. And the speed and tactics of road racing, minus all the jerks. A bicycle steeple chase of sorts. Freezing temps, on average, mud, sand, rain, snow, ice,.. The benefits of competing are endless. last year, at nationals...It hurts so good.

along with cross season, come the cross' specific workouts. Shorter and more anaerobic, along with a few days of running.. ive got that, cant walk, everything is sore, feeling, that lets me know the transistion has begun and is going according to plan.

Other than cross'... Watched "Iron Will" last night at 2.a.m., one of those, why waste time sleeping, kind of nights... After the movie I spent way too much time reading through famous quotes from polititions/historians/ect... Going to See one of the Cirque du Soleil performances in town tomorrow night. ( was Friday, now its Saturday, way to change the tickets to the night before my race *)... As much time as I have spent, over the years, trying to make time go by slower, and enjoy evry second, if I could go to bed tonight and wake up mid October, I would, .Its that glow...
