MY GUTTY LITTLE BRUINS

MY GUTTY LITTLE BRUINS. Dangit, they taught a helluva lesson tonight in the NCAA basketball tournament...

... one we can all learn from.

Up by 13 at the half.
Down by 10 with 2 minutes to go.

Oh, crud I can't watch any more.

Be positive.

I can't take it.

Ya never know.

UP BY 1 WITH 12 SECONDS TO GO!!!

How many times do we think we have it all under control in a race, only to find ourselves in a real battle?

How often do we feel overpowered and scratch and claw our way back to the front of the race?

That finish line.
That dern finish line!

Can't get it to it fast enough when we're ahead...

... coming at us too fast when we're behind.

But, here's the lesson I learned tonight and the reason locals have referred to them as the gutty little Bruins for decades...

... they kept playing.

All 40 minutes.

Never did they waiver from their plan or look lost.

The kept relentlessly pressing and shooting and hustling...

... until the very last second.

Can we ask more than that?

Can we ask more of ourselves?

My gutty little Bruins will weep tonight, but as my dear ol' Bruin dad said...

... They'll live to fight another day.

The world is relentless.
Competitors are relentless.
The finish line is always approaching...

... we have to be relentless,
in all we do,
everything,
always.

Tonight I was relentless on the group ride...

... thanks to this wonder product.
