Foul, foul mood today so beware. My training has been crap lately. My back, shoulder and neck are still hurting from my tumble that I took a few months ago and it's affected my training. I don't have the miles in my legs that I should at this point and my weight is a solid 10 pounds more than it should be. So today when I got on my bike for a ride at lunch, I was none to happy to find that the front derailleur would not shift into the big ring. I rode to the house and started to work on it in hopes that I could correct the situation quickly and be on my way. I'm a horrible wrench no doubt, so it came as no surprise that I could not improve the situation. Faced with the prospect of losing yet another day of training, I picked up the nearest thing (a bag full of ski stuff including boots) and chucked it. Directly through a glass window in my garage. Shattered glass everywhere. What a joy. If things don't improve soon, I may just go back to whatever it was I did before I became obsessed with this bike racing thing. I can't remember that far back, but I had to be happier with that/those hobbies than this one.
