Unlike my fellow TMWC’rs, I was not on the podium today.  Three cheers for Gould, Roundy, Hill, Adams, McGee, and Brown.

Now I can spend countless hours on Strava analyzing how and where I was beaten.

Strava… Strava… Strava… (Rosebud)

Zero time will be spent on Johnny O’s file, he’s an alien. I don’t follow 2nd place,  nor do I know his name.

That leaves Jeff who was 3rd and nice enough to say I rode fast… he beat me by two minutes… what he meant was I usually destroy you, and Even though I could see you today I was able to back off and coast in.

Can’t hate the genuine humility… or can I?

Can I get ticked off… ride harder… train and eat better?

Crank up the GnR!

Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here everyday
You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see you’ll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me
