THE 3 PHASES OF A RACER'S LIFE
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?! The young guys are slowing down, the old guys are speeding up. Does this prove my point in the folly...
... of trinket and KOM chasing?
Here are a few examples:
- UK Luke skips the hardest part of the climb,
- Bonifast only rips 1 of my legs off,
- The old fossil Mark drops me.
Then this dawned on me...
- BK
- DK
- AK
... the 3 phases of a racer's life.
Before Kids, the youthful are nothing but merciless marauders on every ride. They're always improving, recovering in no time...
... living the life of Riley.
During Kids, things settle down and responsibilities expand, crowding out training time. With the right juggling...
... they sneak out to turn the cranks a bit.
After Kids, with a little luck and determination, these same racers find themselves with extra time and often a little extra coin...
... to put into rejuvenatiing their parentbods.
Here's the thing.
Regardless of where we find ourselves, only we know where we are and where we need to be...
... and we have no idea the commitments, responsibilities and burdens of others.
So, for all you DKrs...
... do your best and forget the rest.
