diary of an Endorphin Junkie

I spent all day yesterday struggling, and going backwards, in an attempt to pick my speed up and actually compete with Devan and Val next weekend. Unfortunately, they came on the track during practice and demonstrated a definitely better pace. Arg.

Later in the day, I decided that I was sick and tired of struggling with this, and I was going to just run out the season and accept what I got. I relaxed, and went out and chased down some of the slower guys and practiced passing for fun. I believe I did several laps faster than I had all day.

Is it just me? Am I going backwards because I'm trying too hard?

So we'll see if I can just put this stuff behind me and enjoy myself. Maybe I'll do better...
