Quiz Time
You finished your first cyclocross race 12 hours ago. Do you feel:
1. Splended. In fact I've never felt better. I think I'll take my dog Binky out for a stroll in the night air.
2. I'd answer but the morphine drip prevents me from writing coherently.
3. Like my legs have been through a meat grinder.
4. I am SO STOKED for this season I'm going to do laps running up stairs with my bike first thing in the morning, and then I'll go around Discovery Park practicing hurdles, and then go do some more steps, and then some more hurdles, and then go to the gym and lift weights. And then I'll do some more. All before 7 a.m.
5. My boyfriend said I looked so hot in my jersey it totally made me, like, forget where I was. I swear I could have pulled him into the woods, and, you know. Oh, and sorry I got in your way when I walked down that steep section of singletrack. It made me so, like, totally nervous. I just can't, like, concentrate on what I'm doing when I think of my boyfriend. Ya know?
6. They expect us to do this in the RAIN?!?!?!
7. I never knew how consistently recognizable a Balance Bar could look when yacked over a period of 35 minutes.
8. There is a masseuse out there who could retire early with the money they'd make off me right now.
9. Ya know, I, like, feel really totally awesome! I can't wait until next week! It's gonna be, like, so much FUN!!! It was like, so beautiful and sunny today, it just really made me love being outside and feeling good about myself. It was like one of those "Life is Good" t-shirts. In fact I think I'll go to REI and buy another one with a big smiley face on it.
10. There is a reason they invented autumn. It's a time to harvest God's bounty: mass quantities of Oktoberfest microbrews and brautwurst with mustard. Fuck this exertion shit. Bring on the beer and weiners.
