I’m all set to race. Yay! Yes, I’m terribly excited to ride in Osoyoos this weekend!
A few months worth of saving every penny + a big gift from Christmas and my birthday!
I live my life by “Fake it ’till you make it”, but I feel this overwhelming pressure to perform well as not to look like a poser with a nice bike. Faking it doesn’t seem like a legit option anymore. Ah, welcome back to high school, where your selfworth is established through judgement from your peers.
Long weekend is here, and I finally got out for a long ride. I hadn’t broke the 100K barrier since last year, and I’ve been itching to do it (not because I’m unable to, but more for the confidence building).
Oh, and I was a total stalker too. On the way back from Mission, 5 guys in “Local Ride” jerseys passed me as they were pacelining back to Maple Ridge. By that time in my ride, I had started to slack a bit, thinking about things other than riding hard. After they passed me, I figured I’d just cruise behind them, giving them about 5 m of space so that I’m not drafting or entering their paceline, and just see how long I could keep up with them (just for kicks, you know…). Well, I ended up “stalking” them for the entire trip back. I think its about time I found a good group of people to ride with. I say this every year, but I miss group rides!
They probably think I’m the creepiest/weridest rider out there. Oh well, I was distracted for a while so I’m happy.
Surprise 1:
In addition to my awesome ride, my brother is home for the weekend! Picked him up from the airport on Saturday, and he’ll be flying out on Tuesday. My dad’s got friends over from Ontario too, so the house is busy busy with guests. Busy = me giving up my bedroom and sleeping downstairs for a few nights.
Surprise 2:
The race director from the Spring Classic 5k called me and said I had won some prizes from the race! Yay! I’ll be picking whatever it is I won on Tuesday. Mom, since I ran that race for you on mother’s day, you just got some more mother’s day gifts!
Surprise 3: (not really a surprise)
I didn’t win 40 million. Damn it
Happy Long Weekend!
It’s finally here! I super excited to for a test ride!
That’s a big Christmas present! Oh me, I’m too generous…
Oh jeeze, I guess I can’t ride it right out of the box…
Oh its riding time!
I’ve been thinking/planning out next season. I’m quite exited for this upcomming season as training is slowly picking up, and I’m feeling pretty good so far.
Looks like my races will include…
If other stuff comes up that is more interesting I’ll be going to those too.
I’m not quite ready to announce my goals though. A little more thinking to see if they’re anywhere near realistic…
