CONTROL TECH

IN THE EARLY DAYS OF MTB, there was this cool company named Control Tech. Riding today, I was thinking about all the tech we use to control our efforts... ... and I wondered if they were still in business. They are,still making cool stuff, like the mini aero bars above. Our racing overlords at USAC have outlawed products like that for gravel, mtb, and road (not TTs)... ... it's out of our control. Doesn't really matter,unless we make it matter. Which is which is what I was thinking about on the ride. I can't control... who shows up to race promoters' execution of the event equipment competitors run weather course conditions other racer's skill or fitness I can control... registering for events toeing the start line how I react to suprises maintaining my equipment having the right apparel for the weather choosing good lines on course my training my skills my nutrition my sleep my recovery Things out of our control,just are. Accept it. Things in our control,make a difference. Embrace it. === 164.9 (freakin' pizza, i had no control)8 hrs sleep No strenght work20 minutes recovery 30 minutes reading + Journaling 105Strava
