XC is funny: total relaxation + total pain
I just thought of something.
In an XC race you're trying to be as relaxed as possible and yet you're also in the most pain you can stand. Funny. OK, I suppose that's how it is in all these aerobic sports. Or maybe all sport. ? Tension in the wrong place is never good in sport. But it is funny how relaxation and suffering can go hand in hand. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publisher of outdoor/indoor do-it-yourself culture... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...rare books on ski, bike, boat culture, plus a Gulf Coast thriller about smalltown smuggling ... radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national travel forums!

Huh? All pump? No, they have to be totally maxxed plus totally relaxed
or they SCREW UP. It's a total ticket to injury, too, to not be doing both at the same time. If ya think about it. Too much.

I should have expanded on that. I ski .... reeeeelaaaax. I bike .... chill, dude. My job is high stress ....stay calm. I'm getting too layed back. Ya don't want to be layed back in the weight room ... 'ya gotta HIT IT ! ARRRRRRR ! HOOOOORAAAAA ! :^] jw

I don't race so I can't blame xc for pain, just a decent fast heart rate
sometimes, but I do find quiet tours through the woods lead to a zen-like calm and occasionally insightful/good ideas. gr "Jeff Potter" wrote in message .. . I just thought of something.
