Pre-Race Mentality

A race postponement is always bad for me, especially when it's weather related. I've usually spent the last few hours getting psyched up for a race, and then all the sudden I'm wondering whether the race will happen or not. Every change in the weather makes me more or less prepared for the starting gun. Luckily today, the race was postponed to another day, because by the time the anticipated start rolled around, I was mentally prepared for a nice drive down Provo Canyon, not for a sprint up Little Stick. Man I sure felt bad for those marathoners. A 5:30 AM start and pouring rain did not look like any fun at all. See you on Wednesday night. 6PM. Fortunately (or not), the single speed category didn't get cut down on distance.
