I WANT TO LOSE ALMOST EVERY RACE
MY FAVORITE LOSES ARE WHEN SOMEONE BEATS ME A NEW WAY, a tactic or move I never thought of, or cannot follow...
... it's illuminating.
Especially when it's something I think will not work.
- The attacker, who just relentlessly attacks
- The early move, destined to fail
- The impossible to follow, downhill missile
- The never at the front, until the last meter
- The ride everyone off the wheel, until nobody remains
To name just a few who've recently thrashed me into submission.
Thinking these racers are stupid is risky. Understanding them isn't.
Oh how I would love to pop a drone into their training rides for a week, or month, or year.
How did they do what they did?
How often was practice?
Could I master it?
I never enjoy losing, but when I do, I hope it's by someone teaching me a new way to win...
... keep racing my friends.
