10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain…a 100% reason to remember the name
An old ride report from a month ago, April 20th.
I realized groups never quite go when I can and I needed to just get out and try the bike rack. Mentioned my thinking around, found someone for weekend adventures, so maybe it was a small group? 🙂 Or I am thinking #AdventureBuddies…working on thinking ….
I was watching the Vuelta yesterday and enjoying Ben King finishing and thinking about the effort level when I watched his collapse after the finish line.

which got me to read the piece Ben King wrote.
One of his favorite quotes was “direction, not intention, determines destination” (Andy Stanley).Â
From his article I take the JA philosophy of ” If you don’t put yourself out there, you have zero chance. ” as well as ” Live in the moment but keep moving forward.”
It matters to me as my training has been affected a lot this year and I do realize that speed and capacity changes every year now, in ways I can’t expect. So I need to focus on the fact that some of this are highs and lows and to make the most of every day!
