THE ONE THING ALL RACE WINNERS DO

THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO LOSE THE RACE.  Some of them have cute little initials we pronounce as verbs.  The two most popular are DNF'd and DNS'.  Did not finish, did not start.  They can be found at the bottom of any start list...

... the other you won't find anywhere.

Yes, the third and most insidious way to lose a race is the saddest of all. 

When you think about it, DNF can be for a variety of reasons.  Straight up quit because didn't want to post a bad result...

...Ugh!...

... to crashed out, had a mechanical, bad stomach, cramps, lost my mind, felt like taking a nap.  It's. a long list and often very valid.

That's why they are above DNS.

DNSing has it's own reason...

... life, priorities, work, sick, etc... also, generally worthy.

For the most part, I'm down with all the reasons we might not finish because shiz happens.  We prepare, we do our best...

... so, forget the rest!

But, the third is DNRing.  Did not register.

This one never shows up in the record books...

... there is no record for not trying.

So, get registered. 

It's what all winners do.

There's an old tshirt touting the virtues of Life Behind Bars, the bars being handle bars.

If you're gonna do that, you'll need a firm grip.
