THE LAST RACE

PULLING INTO TUCSON THIS EVENING, I WONDERED IF THIS WOULD BE MY LAST ROAD RACE? I mean, I just drove 7 hours to do a road race... ... there just aren't any options in SoCal. Kinda makes ya wonder, what if tomorrow was your last race... ... and you knew it? In fact, what if you'd known for a few months... ... tomorrow is the very last one, ever? Would you be kinder to the volunteers or more dismissive? How early would you get to the start? How intensely would you train? Would you embrace your long-time competitors or be aloof? Would you attack from the gun or patiently wait for things to unfold? Would you focus on the wheel in front of you or drown in the sounds of hubs, chains and rims? If there was a mishap would you stop or hammer on? Would you leave nothing to chance or be nonchalant in your prep? Would you bike be pristine or worn out? How important would it be to win? What if you lost? And that's the problem with the last race... ... it could always be tomorrow. --- 162.976 Pull Ups + 6 Power PushUps + 0 Heavy Squats0 minutes recovery40 minutes reading + Journaling https://www.strava.com/athletes/10248 https://twitter.com/pedalindustries https://www.instagram.com/pedalindustries/
