does winning feel as good as losing hurts?

on this day three fellow Clydesdales rode faster than me at Wakefield
I need to be better prepared next time... not riding the bike since last W@W due to a beach trip and parent responsibilities
then maybe also fuel
not sure if my body runs so well on PB&J

lots of the results of the day fall back on mental
I was not entirely in the game
I sat up pretty early without much of a fight

good night with friends
lessons learned
it is not that I should have won... it is more than I gave up and threw in the towel so early
too much juggling activities and not enough focus
