Back to Texas

I am headed back to texas tommorow to race the Lonestar 70.3. I am pretty stoked to be heading back to Texas because when I went to Austin in October I had an awesome time. The people down there were awesome, especially my homestay Marla and Kent. Hopefully Galveston can live up to my expectation. My dad is coming along as race support so that is awesome. I kind of have the same feeling about this race as I did going into Mazatlan two years ago. I am fit and ready to throw down a big race. That's my game plan for the weekend, no time or place goals just throw down a big race get to the finish line as fast as possible and see where that stacks up. Focus on nothing but kickin ass.

I'll leave with a quote from the one Chick Show that I watch, One Tree Hill. Well actually its an Ayn Rand quote used on One Tree Hill but I would be telling a lie if I sad I have read anything written by Ayn Rand or knew who she was before I looked up this quote. But it is a quote that really rings true to my life right now.

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours."
