I competed in the first observed trials event of our club’s season over the weekend… and I finished both days, the first time since last July when a small plague of Uncategorized aches and injuries descended upon my not-yet-geezerly-by-god body.
I rode better than I expected, in part due to the gem of a motorcycle I was on. But I actually tried out my Malcom Smith/Phil Mickelson smiling strategy just about every time I got on the bike to ride a section or to ride between sections. I rode more relaxed than usual and I had waaaaay more fun than usual. My concentration still sucked at times. Radical thought: Maybe next time I’ll even try it while I’m in section, like Malcolm.
I think I’m onto something here.
