Gym Jones Biatch

My riding buddy Luke is also a pro rock climber. He was climbing with one of his friends from Utah and the guy was just impressive and explosive. He asks the guy whats going on and where he got this crazy fitness and he says "Gym Jones" in Salt Lake. So we're doing the Gym Jones style workouts now in our gym. They will shred you in 30 mins. I don't know if it will help with cycling but it is a good way to keep fitness. Pretty fun and kind of like cross...short.

Whatever

Well I did it. I won the South Dakota State Cyclocross Championship. Shouldn't I?be proud of myself. Well, in short, no. I only beat one person whom I would consider a true competitor. Sure the course was great and the race promoter put in a lot effort to make the event legit. She always puts on a nice race. It's just a little frustrating when we just don't have the numbers to show up. I guess people felt like they would rather go on their own ride or just do projects around the house. It's fine, whatever your into. Not everyone likes to race, I understand that. I love the town I live in and the little mountains that we have here. If still lived in Lincoln at least I could have gotten my butt whipped by some true competitors. Isn't it better to know you gave everything you had and maybe only got 5th than to win and feel like you've accomplished nothing. I guess I need to travel to race cross. 9 hours to Lincoln, 7 hours to Front Range...
