constant disappointment
i have to rant here for a second. first i can't find my car. it was either stolen or towed. i rarely drive so it's not uncommon for me to spend some time walking the streets looking for where i parked it last. but i've been around the hood and it isn't here. hmm..
update: my car was stolen, i'm riding my bike to pay the $170 to get it back right now.
update: using a screwdriver to start it, i drove it to the garage to get fixed.
the real issue is this knee and not being able to race. i have already decided i won't be doing the big horn 100 miler on june 15th. =( now i have to bail out of another race because of this knee! the 28 hour desert wind adventure race on may 13th. i was going to race with cyril and east coast adv racing superstar patricia williams. this was going to be a bad ass race too. after yesterday's 3.2 mile run where i finished with mild knee pain, i pretty much decided a 28 hour adv race on may 13 isn't in the cards just yet.
so what's after that? the trioba sprint race with rvg and aaron rinn. i hope the knee can handle a 4 hour race in 3.5 weeks time. if not, i will be taking up golf earlier than planned. which will hopefully give me a lot of funny stories about my ball landing in the water.

sucks about the knee. it's just not fair that it's so damn hard to stay healthy unless you sit on your ass most of the time... in which case you become completely unhealthy in every other way. i guess there are some endurance athletes that are able to avoid injury and overuse problems, but for most it seems like a constant battle with keeping the body in working order. i guess it's just all part of the game.
excellent quote. sorry about your car dude.
