I’m back….again

By philwood

Okay, maybe not yet. Still trying to deal with this severe case of chronic fatigue syndrome, I read about some cyclist having it a long time ago and I’m convinced that’s what I have. Seriously though, I would like to try to pull this season out of my a$$ and at least get fit enough to score a few points by the end of it, either in the crit series (more likely) or the UCA series (less likely). Next season, however, I will be back and will be on top form.

No more letting work and other unimportant things get in the way of bike racing. It sometimes bothers me that the sport involves so much commitment…at least if you want to be good. commitment = time, money, sacrificing other important things, etc. (maybe there’s a pattern here) I guess that’s why I couldn’t give it a go this year, although to be entirely honest I did feel some burnout at the end of last year, but that likely was due to work as much as it was bike racing.

In other news, I think I’m going to go see Transformers the movie tonight. Since beginning to work in the software industry about two years ago, I’m slowly turning more geeky. I shower less, shave less (except for my legs of course) and am generally a little more weird, although the particulars of my obsessive personality are still well off the charts. I’m not calling any of that a good thing, but it is what it is.

I figure it’s time to get back to work. I’ve become a lazy trader, which isn’t great considering I was doing pretty well before I got lazy. Maybe I should resume listening to my friends Eric Utley and Jeff Kohler on the Investools Marketcast.

    Just start sitting in every week at RMR. After a month, see how it feels.

    Yeah I know, I’m sure I could at least pull that off, just need to get motivated enough to do that.

    Phil it would be good to see you back in action. Even though I will lose more points because of it!
