Thinking about what the name of this blog really means. I'm not a bragging that I'm all that - YET! I don't have a 53 tooth chain ring! And I'm not freak of nature! Life in the BIG Ring isn't about winning every race or having the biggest quads. I think it's way bigger than that.
It's always pushing, trying to get better, stronger, faster. Being disciplined in getting the workouts in, and keeping the diet. It's about making hard decisions and choosing whats best for you. Ignoring the pain. Everyone is in pain but you are dealing with it better than everyone else. It's barely being able to walk after a hard workout. Out sprinting someone for the line at the end of the race when you want to coast in. When your legs are begging you to quit and asking for mercy - but your mind says "The race isn't over - keep pedaling!" It's knowing you are going to finish last but you still finish. Not giving up! It's about getting knocked down and getting back up. It's about catting-up and getting your ass kicked by the fast guys!
Life in the BIG Ring isn't easy but its so worth it!
P.S. - It's not taking the easy way out and doping!
