Future Dave

This is a note to my future self.  As most of these blogs are.  I get a kick out of  looking back at the past years and to see what I got right and what I missed.  Don't live in the past.  Live in the present.  Still it's cool to take a peek back every now and then.

So Future Dave, you took a look at last years post regarding nationals and the finals at Helen.  In it you said you were surprised to even finish the season due to THE INJURY.  Your confidence was rattled after your sight in lap at nats.  You feel much better about both races this year.

You are in good shape right now.  You didn't work on the tech skills like you were supposed to (no surprise here).  But you have been faithful to the OMTP.  More than in years past.  Just not the skills sets.

The Cannondale suspension has been rebuilt.  This should make a little difference in the rocks.  Please remember to have it serviced on a regular basis to avoid this huge unexpected expense.

This will be the last year for nationals for a few years.  Right now it is a relief.  The extra race at the end of the season, plus training in the heat of a Florida summer, makes it hard to just enjoy the vacation.

You still have misgivings about the 60+ class.  Please give it up.  Just enjoy the events.  It doesn't matter what others think.

Here is what you need to do going forward.  Stay healthy.  Eat less.  Meditate every day.  Keep up the yoga twice a week.  Enjoy the moment you are in right now.  Focus, on every moment, and on the people around you right now.  Do the work but enjoy the process.  Stop trying to control what happens, you can't, you can only control how you react.

Peace out.
