Notes

Extremely cold. Never really got going. Legs were sapped, stomach and head bothered me throughout. This was a disappointment for sure. Uncertain as to where to go from here.

If being uncomfortable makes you uncomfortable...then practice being uncomfortable.... That is the other road you may not have considered perhaps? Have you looked in that direction?

Fro

stay strong brotha - only one race and one day. Trust the plan and give it what ya got - no more no less. Your best is more than good enough....

Egad

Yes, there is something to be said for mimicking race conditions when possible. But perhaps it would be an even better idea to skip the rare race that is way too hot or way too cold. Yes, there will be few races that feature ideal conditions but I'm not convinced that you are a better athlete for running in misery either.

rcuch

What about races when didn't get enough sleep...you couldn't get your usual fuel...you misgrab a water...your pissed off at someone...your toe nail fell off...or they start the race by whispering go instead of blowing a cannon? What about those races? Will you be skipping those too?

Egad

For some reason it won't let me swear on here. But you get the jist.

Fro

Really - you can't type a swear word.... Gotta test this.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Fro

Guess I swear better than u do.....

rcuch

Alright...

Scorps

A shitty day racing is better than a good day at work. Trust the process. Listen to your body.

And remember what George Carlin said:

Rat shit

Bat shit

Dirty old twat

69 assholes tied in a knot

Monkey shit

Hoorayyyyyyyy

FUCK!

Egad

I'd say that functionality is back.

I'm with you Egad. Can't compete with Cuch when it comes to bearing the uncomfortable. Who else can run 54 hours straight? Or was it 56? After 4, I'm spent. And 24? That's for crazy folks like Cremer and Beaulieu. Hell, WTF!

GregM

I say ditto to Fro and Scorps. Listen to them. They're not crazy yet!
