It’s the Departmental VTT Championships on Sunday! I’m not really up for it. Not really a racer see. I’ve been far too busy gardening. Now, if it was a race to get the circuit planted, mowed, trimmed or pruned, I’d win easily. I love gardening, and that’s the problem. Give me a choice between riding my bike or working in the garden, I’d choose the garden every time.

Not making excuses here by the way. I’m a reluctant racer. I don’t have that driven desire to win. I’m too nice, I’d let you win if you really wanted to. I don’t have that winning streak. Unlike Steve, who’s been training hard, and has a nasty vicious streak that drives him on. I’ve seen him in action. It’s funny how the fitter he becomes the more agressive he is on his bike.

However, I was out for a final training run yesterday, and I felt just great. Plus, us veteran women got our own category this year, so here’s hoping………….. check back on Monday, I’ll let you know.
