DO YOU EVER GET BORED WITH RACING AND TRAINING?

DO YOU EVER GET BORED WITH RACING AND TRAINING?

ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN AN AVID CYCLIST for many years, I haven't always been this focused or committed.  Part of that was busy times raising family, getting career going...

... part of it was something else.

There's a pattern,
do you see it?

Boredom from road racing,
led to crits.

Boredom for business park crits,
led to MTB.

Boredom from MTB racing,
led to SuperD.

Boredom from SuperD,
let to motorcycles.

Boredom from not racing bicycles,
got me back into road.

Boredom from road,
back into XC.

Boredom from XC,
into gravel.

When we get bored the passion dies.

Here are some ideas:

  • Try a new discipline
  • Go to races in faraway places
  • Make a public declaration of our goal
  • Take chances on new tactics
  • Test new positions

And so on.

Here's the dealio on that...

... most of us would rather let the passion die
vs. risk embarrassment of failure.

Now you do:

  • Marriage
  • Family
  • Career
  • Books
  • Diet
  • God

Enjoy the weekend...

... be spontaneous.
