snowbasin trail shred
the last 14 days i have been tired, and some how feel good for a few hours on saturdays for the race. then tired for 6 days. this last week it didnt go away. we were racing the wolverine and i had no pep in my step.
you could say i was tryin but the foxtrot was sort of like a turtle.
it was good enough to ride in group of 5 guys but thats about it. today it was the same, the pep hasnt returned but i figured out how to fix it. i will let you know if it works.
we rode up at snowbasin today, 2 hrs at a snails pace. it was nice and only 65 degrees, cloudy and rocky. i have not been riding up there for over 13 years and forgot what it was like. ed should do a race up there. they have lots of trails, really rocky trails.
the xterra is saturday and im goin up to check it out. maybe its my new calling in life. i have had a few hints from different sources and im thinking of trying it out next year. maybe if i can get motivated to train in a sest pool full of chlorine and 1000 differents peoples bodily fluids, blood, spit, flem, piss ya whatever else, gross
. i hate public pools. its the closest thing to the sewer.
i have swam in pools before for training but i was 14. back then i would run 10k's real slow like 45 mins. maybe i could do xterra like bucky and be fast like ned. ya sounds hard, maybe not.
here is something else.
at the races people see me win expert, i think ok thats good but no big deal, its expert not world championships. people ask me who my doctor is, you know the jokingly team doctors of the tour. implying i have some hook up with something undercover or like some performance enhancers, they are probably joking but still everyone wonders how i can be where im at after 4 or 5 months ago being so far behind or so fat. its nothing but being healthy and modifying a few lifestyle choices. you dont know how sick you are, you dont know how good you can have it until you get it. some people get mad when i say i cant climb, when im so slow on the climbs and rip the dh then win. if i was a climber i would be racing pro and beating guys like bart and jones, they can climb. when i race the norba and jhk does the same trail as me and puts 20 mins on me, its not on the dh its on the climb, ya so i cant climb, i judge myself off the best and when im near the guys mentioned above i wont say i cant climb. but for now im slow on the U.H. and if you guys understand health and know how good it can be ala natural dont judge the comeback because its only just begun and wait until next spring i will show them how to go fast.
