Amen to volkswagen or massechusetts? ;)
someone in my tri club in austin just quoted something from you blog...
"The races are the culmination of all the miles in between, but lets not forget that the volume of miles leading up to performing are where the majority of the memories are kept. Those memories literally make up our lives. If your training 20-25 hours a week with a full time job, there is not much more time for anything else, especially if you own a two year old yellow lab. I would be lying if I said I don't do this for the races, because I love competing, but I also love training. Waking up at 0500 on a Saturday in August, when it is still 90 degrees to go hit up the hills for four hours, or running late at work and having to get your 8 mile tempO run in at 1130 at night, or swimming in a cold pool. These are the internal things that make us stronger, but the people we share these moments with, make us better and deeply bonded. Earthlings don't understand why we live this way, and thats fair, because I don't know how they live the way they do."
i dunno where he found it, but.... WELL SAID!
I totally forgot you are a TEXAS man, PLEASE say "hi" if you are playing around at Longhorn!! Any good tips for the course...?
Hope all is well...
