DYOU UNDERSTAND WAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT?

ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF ADVICE FOR RACING is from the great Stephen Covey.  He talks about 7 habits of successful people, be we are racers and this habit is a winner...

... seek first to understand. 

I get that... 

... but not the way he meant it.

He wanted us to understand where other people are coming from before we try to get them to understand us...

... here's why that's gold.

Especially in road racing.

So much strategy.
So many calculations.

I spend at least the first half of any road race trying to understand what each of my competitors has planned...

... what part are they going to play.

That might be a fake attack or latching onto a break and sitting in or just pulling hard for a bit or dangling off the back.  Could, should start as early as pulling into the parking lot and seeing who's there and who's hanging out, who looks friendly though in different kits.

First, seek to understand...

... then, at the finish line...

... you can be understood.

Got it?

Honestly, I don't know why I give away these ideas for freely.  Fortunately, I don't race road too much so nobody really knows me anyway.  Heaven forbid some yokel understand me and leaves me understanding at the line.

I can't guarantee results, but I can guarantee this...

... our RaceDay Bags™ are nearly indestructible.  That's we have a 1 year warranty...

... the truth is, you could send one back after 5 years and we'd fix it.  

It's so rare, I should probably just make it a lifetime warranty.

Maybe I will.

It pretty much is.

We'd love you to spread the word...
