Garbage Hill Race

The race is on. Need to get back to the one race a month minimum after the May layoff.

Thursday June 29 at Garbage Hill. Meet at 8:45 at the SW corner to go over the route. Race starts at 9pm. Hoping for a decent turnout, despite the rather meagre odds of that happening. It would be a shame to have a race with no racers.

Got out for a few laps tonight. Kind of drove home the point that while I have been putting in a decent amount of miles lately, I've been doing no focused training. And no racing at all. This is going to hurt. But it will be fun too--especially over beers afterwards.

Sounds like Hal is already throwing out excuses. Floyd has a nice take on excuses: "To my way of thinking, it doesn't matter if your goddamn head fell off or your legs exploded. If you didn't make it, you didn't make it. One excuse is as good as the other. There's only one rule. The guy who trains the hardest, the most, wins. Period." Consider that a challenge--even if one I'm almost certain I can't back up. Let's see if Floyd's law holds up?
