Comments on: Catching Up http://www.racefox.com/2008/12/catching-up/ A bitter 30 something redhead ranting shouty thoughts and miscellany with the world… Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:47:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Foxsden http://www.racefox.com/2008/12/catching-up/#comment-544 Foxsden Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:01:55 +0000 http://www.racefox.com/?p=856#comment-544 You're not wrong! I can't tell you how many times I cursed my generous self for lending out my 2 better bikes! Anya is such a sweet person that when she saw me struggling with my seat she immediately offered to give me my bike that she was riding! Still, such is the nature of Duathlons I suppose. You're spot on about laps - I hate doing laps. When you're struggling around the second half of a first lap the last thing you want to come back to is the start to do it all over again. I have to keep reminding myself how great I'll feel later on! You’re not wrong! I can’t tell you how many times I cursed my generous self for lending out my 2 better bikes!

Then they'll buy their own and stop cadging yours. I don't know how you can bear to do races that have laps. Most of the ones I do are up and back down - all the downhill in the second half, so you (I) can finish still running... Next time, lend them the evil bike.
