SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LUNG
MOST OF US NEVER SHOOT for the overall podium. We have a pretty good idea that's reserved for the young and ubertalented. Settling for an age group placing...
... or maybe cracking the top 50 overall.
Those are real wins for us.
Then there was yesterday's podium...
- First place, tall skinny kid
- Third place, young speedster in skinsuit
... at BWR AZ, 2026
Second place I find so inspirational.
The confidence of this racer is otherworldly.
Who placed second overall among the Elite Men,
who didn't bother to race their age group, 70+!...
... Ned "The Lung" Overend.
Does that mean we'll all be clobbering the punks as we age?
Nope.
What it does mean is if we continue to take care of our health, focus on what's possible...
... we may continue to perform at a high level for many years.
Can ya just imagine being a hunert years old racing Elite?
