Wholistic Fitness

Oh, i did cross the Finish Line…
unlike more than half the peleton who quit. i was the last in the Lead Group and damned proud of it! Especially considering i was congested and not feeling my typical Chi! We are only as go(o)d as we are on our ‘bad’ days…i finished in the Lead Group, just behind Dale K…the leader of the 50+ cat while more than half the peleton had quit the intense conditions, and more importantly, i hung through those Bardo Entry conditions for over 2hours with pro level, sport specific cyclists…chalk yet another spiritual victory up for all Wholsitic Fitness® athletes everywhere!

Going into today’s Road Time Trial…
i was still holding onto 2nd place…yet in the TT, i would find a TT specialist that would out perform me and threaten my Overall Standing…

May Go(o)d Bless All Those Intelligent Enough To Sweat Daily…

Lap 2 was sooooo stinking brutal. Chronically sucking in massive amounts of spray water flung from spinning wheels while flinging soaked self after all these Two Bits was REALLY beginning to test my natural state of yogic equanimity while inflaming my genetic predisposition toward Teutonic Barbarianism. I felt a deep urge for a hockey stick and some solid boards into which i could take into some of these weasel-looking roadies.
