WE CAN'T WIN THAT RACE
TWO YEARS AGO, when I was going for my PR at Leadville, I was toying with the idea of a special jersey. It would contain something very stealthy. I tabled the idea...
... because I wasn't sure it work.
Now, of course, the concept is cutting-edge.
Which makes this idea...
... just like every race we stand no chance of winning.
What was the jersey idea?
Sewing in a sleeve to hold my hydration bladder inside the jersey vs a camelbak-style pack...
... which is exactly what the winner, and other pros, used at Unbound last week.
I wanted it because it seemed like it would be more secure, not bouncing around over rough terrain.
Aero wasn't on my mind at all, which was the claimed gotta-have benefit for the 200 mile gravel race.
Clearly it works,
clearly I gotta take a crack at it.
Which brings up the point about racing...
... we can't win a race, ever, if we don't show up.
Take the chance,
see what happens.
