Yesterday, the relay-race was kind of good. We made 2nd place overall and the 1st in company-results. Not too bad, I think. Organisation was kind of bad, as PT, our runner, nearly came too late to the change from bike to run because roads were closed and the busses were all overly full. I think PT was there 2 minutes before Frank our cyclist came into transition zone. Pretty close. But luckily it all came to a good ending.
Frank wanted to stay at the race until the ceremonie. That was not really fun. I hate the ceremonies and I never go there, no matter which place I make. Last year, I was 1st or 2nd (in my age group) at each race I made and I did go once because my driver wanted to have my price as payment for driving me to the race. It really doesn't mean anything to me. Medals, certificates or prices are totally unimportant. It's only my performance that counts. The result (time). Getting better with each race. Fighting with my body and go further, over the limits.
I think you might have to be kind of masochistic to race and train for such an endurance sport. It's pain, especially at the end of the race, when your legs are hurting, your lungs are burning, you are overly worn out. But the feeling afterwards is so wonderful. I think it might be comparable with some kind of drug. Someone who's never done any endurance sport won't understand. But it's fun. Most times...
Saw PT yesterday as we raced together, today at the congregation and I'll see him next Saturday. I invited some friends for dinner. Invited him too. He said, he'll come.
Big question - as always - what to cook *sigh*
There are so many good recipes, but I can't decide which one I should take.
