when I hunkered down at the line, listening for the beep to signal ten seconds, I start to apply a bit of pressure. and at the beep, I racheted back the pedal one notch, and in my head I count down. At 3 I ease up the brakes, and give the holder some forward tension. at one I try not to go, but somehow I sneak off the line before zero. I don't time trial much, its not a bike I'd pull out of the shed and say, "hmm, be fun to go do some suffern." During the whole ride I analize, just about riding, my current state, my future state... nothing about blogging, or thoughts on life. and I cross the line, snap out of it, coast, swallow,... and just soft pedal. and until the results are up, I just enjoyed the ride.
Then with a scan of the results, my mind goes back to all the thoughts and feelings I had on the bike. There, I could of saved a second. and on.
then home and onto a ride, a long ride, just me and the bike, no music, computer, or campanion.
a really good ride.
Cheers, d.
