Kutztown

driving down Main st,
A left on Noble,
and just a wee bit after you cross Normal St.
You get to the Kutztown CX course.

I don't drink shower beers often,  tonight seem like a fine time to indulge.
not like I rode 100 miles and 10,000's feet,
more like an hour, 10.7 miles for sure.

whats transpired over the last couple of months, just normal living, getting older and things, as you get older, you start to, things go away, and that's how it is, and that's tough stuff.

Work for me is a lot of the same as cross, and I found a good quote from a dude doing film making for a long time, really well, Roger Deakins - " I walk on a film set, on a new movie, and I think like,...it feels like I've never done it before, like I'm learning."



At work, I can dig deep, and give more cause I am a cross racer. Truth.
I work with people I like,
on projects, doing stuff,
that I enjoy.
the days can be long,
to do it well,
than means something, a lot to me.

racing gets me through tough work days,
disappates,  the jumble of needless energy, keeps me a bit more focused.
teaches me plenty, and has made me a plenty of good, really good friends.
It seems simply, hard.
and when someone ask me how long I've been racing,  I always feel like saying, "just started".
It does feel that way despite the large number of years I've been racing,





despite the risk, repitition, simplicity, and ego's, battles, small number of wins.
I learn something still, and feel like there is plenty left to learn.   and to pass
on a bit of advice, small bits, everyonce in a while,  something secret, but handy out there to someone racing,
that feels good.



I shirked my team reasponsiblities Saturday to race Kutztown, with a beady eyed mind to win.
it didn't work out that way, I was chasing the leader, Rick, and he crashed bad.
pretty seriously injuired.
Racing does have risk, and riding above the minds limits, or talents or flukes,
it's bound to happen.   It's not something I think of, or talk about.  I push it way back down in my brain.

race predictor has me coming in 6th, tomorrow at Highland Park, and that's plain wrong, I'm gonna win, I know those other blokes,
and I got 'em.

if you do anything, do it well.
