TB when you say you raced in all those big races and still went to work the next day????… I am confused.
Let me explain
Racing to me (and a lot of others) is putting 110% effort into coming first, I mean after all the pre race efforts of training and bike development and mental preparation, you would expect to come first because you were planning for it, so racing is wanting to come first, and I am sure I am not alone in this opinion.
To be saying after racing these events you still went to work the next day, then how much of that 110% did you give, all of it or were you saving some for work the next day, Mate dont get me wrong I am not saying that some of the huge km’s you have done are not easy, and sometimes its a gold medal effort just to finish some races….Erzberg competitors would know this feeling, thats for sure.
So to be fair and accurate you would have to say that you rode in these event’s not raced them , and thats cool as well, how many of us can say we rode a A4DE, and then how many of that special group can say they RACED it, not many would you not agree, and I say that if you rode the Pony Express you will work the next day, ……but if you RACED it no way will your fitness levels(or mine) allow you to work the following day, there is no rest on the entire track mate, it is choice, and by half time the ruts are mind blowing, bike swallowing…. cool bananas, I hope I can ride the day, at least I will be able to sweep ride and I will match you one lap for one if my duties allow, wont you be lucky as a sweep rider is not allowed to pass a competitor.:laugh: :laugh:
