RACING UGLY (SWEATER)
SOMETIMES THE START LINE reminds me of a bunch of peacocks. Fancy threads, trim bodies, glistening muscles, and beautiful, shiny machinery. Everyone nervously sizing each other up, and...
... none of it matters.
Don't get me wrong.
I love looking sharp,
polishing the bike,
feeling ready.
But, it's actually pretty fun to show up looking ugly...
- dirty bike
- ratty clothing
- hairy legs and scruffy face
... because some peacocks will be dismissive after a quick glance.
They'll fail to notice...
- the drivetrain is pristine
- the clothes are aero
- the body is ready
... someone is primed to get after it.
It's weird,
and it totally works.
Not on everybody,
just some.
We're wired that way.
To make quick assessments and move on.
Maybe it's a survival mechanism.
I was thinking about that today as my forehead showed the effects of the trauma endured in surgery this week...
... fluid pooled at my eyebrows making me look like a an old basset hound.
Uhhh-gleee!
