i woke up feeling good. for about 2 minutes into the race i was feeling good. got a nice start, up in the top 10-15 and then spent the rest of the day riding backwards. another full system failure...i couldn't breath and at times felt like i was going to choke on my own phlegm/spit and then there was the dead feeling legs. i tried...and had nothing.
i was telling robin that i don't expect to win races - i never have and don't now - especially after the year we have had. if the best i can do is last place in the cat 3 race than that is that. but for some reason, i just don't feel like myself anymore and i guess that is what is so disappointing/frustrating.
i have made mention to it before, but i am developing a plan to try and get myself feeling good again. going into the race i thought having a good one would motivate me throughout the off-season. but in hindsight, this may have been better. i know i can be faster. i know i can feel better. i just need to work hard to get there and sometimes a bitter taste is the best way to get there.
halloween was tough. calvin was dressed up as hobbes (so he was calvin AND hobbes). but in reality he was a very surly, very angry little tiger. we had fun handing out candy and then went off to see his little friend reece down the street.
happy monday.
