YOU'VE NEVER RACED AGAINST ME
I REMEMBER A BIZ MEETING ONCE, with another cyclist at his office. We were working along, getting things done, and he looks over at me...
... You're so mellow.
It felt like a put down.
tbh, kinda weird.
Another day, this same gent and I went for a ride.
He was killing me up some of the climbs, really hotting things up. I could tell it was enjoyable for him.
Later, we lined up at a local race.
Afterward, he pedaled over and stopped and said:
I didn't know you could do that.
Oh, thanks man.
There was so much I could have said.
I never told him the truth.
But, I'll tell you...
... because it might help you rip on raceday.
The truth is, when I'm racing...
... it's not me out there.
It's TFnB.
A totally different person.
A calculating, heartless punk with a very short fuse.
Surfergirl knows this,
understands this alter ego,
I actually think she likes that side of me...
... in small doses.
The truth is Alter Egos can be incredibly powerful and effective.
Here's the scary thing,
I think TFnB is who I actually am,
and the mild-mannered marketer is my Alter Ego I work so hard to develop.
Either way,
we're all playing some kind of role,
might as well play the one of the dominator when it comes to racing.
It's a lot more fun.
