We will be rooting for you, Jenn!

I agree that you have the right attitude and mental toughness to get this done. Go, Jenn, go!

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you,
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.

Quote from: Iztaccihuatl on May 13, 2024, 11:02:52 PMNever give up - that's the right attitude for an athlete!

I am sure you'll do fine in the race and no hills, leg cramps or whatever else you could encounter is going to stop you.

You got this, Jenn!

Have a great race!

Hugs,

Heidemarie

Thanks to you both and all the well wishes coming with me on a grand -er- type 2 fun adventure...

Well


The weekend is here. I am off to my cycling event which is Sunday. I am grabbing a pasta dinner w/ my youngest in Manhattan tonight. Tomorrow is in-person credentialing and pre-event carbs. Sunday I will be lined up on the George Washington Bridge for a 7 am start. Yeah, I am gonna get up mad stupid early (and frankly, it messes up the times I change patches and take spiro. its the trans life on that.)

My mentor/riding friend/security blanket is a last minute scratch. I am a gonna hitch up my big girl panties and get it done. She and I had a long call last night, to go over the my weekend and ride. I have a plan and its all about following the plan. Plus my legs. I have good legs.

Seriously-- I feel a nervous respect for the course. I am under-trained on hills. Group ride dynamics, a high speed descent, and a technical descent have my attention. Bitches get stuff done.

and on that.. I am off. Enjoy the weekend one and all.

Do you listen to music when you ride competitively or train?


Chrissy

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.
Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Be brave, be strong.  Try a little kindness.  I am a brown eyed brunette.

Of course you know this means war?!
Music is almost always going, especially in the garage!  I don't run anymore.
I like the bath and asper creme.

Like last week, I drove up to Montana (10 hours round trip)  just for the spectacular Aurora Borealis.
Music all the way.
Back 30 years ago, I'd run for hours with Pink Floyd on the Walkman.  Kind of difficult on the obstacle course though.

When riding outside, no I don't use headphones for safety. Or music really.

When riding on the trainer, inside, yeah-- I have a wide variety of music. Everything from the Grateful Dead to hyperpop (especially 100 gecs).

Thanks! I drove in over the a few miles of the course.. and texted my friend "my legs don't like you anymore". HILLS! I am just going to grind it out.

When working from home.. yes, I have a soundtrack. Its so well known people on calls even talk at my speaker for me. "Hey Sonos! stop". Biking or walking not so much. I live urban enough I need the feedback to not get hit. I am not that good a cyclist I can ignore the world around me. yet.

Thanks.

I am watching teams - there are pros in the race - start morning rides. I am in awe on some level. There is a lot of energy. I like it.

I also admit my dysphoria is hugely triggered. I think it's natural, given the surroundings. I am just trying to ignore it, relax and enjoy. I have not felt this triggered in a long long time..

sigh. it's the trans life.
