We’ve all been there.

Me with CX:
Pre-race: Ah yea, I love cross! This is so much fun!
First lap: Ok wow, that was a fast start, it’s got to slow down soon.
Middle of the race: Ok, this is stupid, I’m miserable, who thinks this is fun? I should quit, I hate this.
Finish: That was the hardest race ever, zero fun, I’m never doing this again.
30 minutes later: I should check BikeReg, maybe there’s a race next weekend.

Off topic, but as a follow up to my previous post (Cycling Memes and Jokes - #4214 by PoweredByBacon), for 2022 I ended up:
-entering 6 centuries (5 imperial, 1 metric)
-completing 5 centuries (4 imperial, 1 metric)(DNF’d at mile 80 with leg cramps and spasms. I’ve since learned about sodium and proper fueling…)
I’ve decided to scale back in 2023: only penciling in 3 imperial centuries. Oh, and my first triathlon. Hopefully an Olympic, but probably a Sprint…
(insert Jackie Chiles gif here that this is outrageous, egregious, and preposterous)

Like many others, that’s exactly where my two KIRK frames failed.
All that and a cable lock!

That’s probably @mcneese.chad !
Less so these days, actually

I have to say this in an Aussie accent for it to work. I can hear GPLama saying it.

Way back around the turn of the century, a good friend was racing the Xterra championship in Hawaii. The NBC crew was there and they threw a camera on him (he was a model and known to them) on the run. He was suffering (visibly) when he said this same: “If it were easy, they’d call it football.”
