Symptopms : Abnormal growth and chicken legs
Hmmm ... no roids here ... just normal Jimbo
Uncontrolable RAGE!
Stay in school, be cool, and stay off the juice.
Whenever I think about the Firestone Walker race up in Santa Barbara County, usually, I think of a good time. This might sound alittle weird for those who know the history between me and the race course there. First encounter came in 2004. Hauling ass on the singletrack by the creek like usual out of control and way too fast I ended up in the gulley ten feet below the trail. Luckily there was no water at the time but that damn tree in the bottom punched a hole through my hydration pack with a branch that could part the Red Sea again. Luckily it wasnt my spleen or kidneys (and maybe my ass itself). With water gushing out and stuck laying down on the ground
1. Not to compete in more than 10 races. ( 20 races in 2005) Sorry Chris , I'm still tired.
2. Finish every marathon/endurance race entered. And that means "no-matter-what". Let it be a broken frame or a pulled Spiro T. Agnew muscle, NO DNF!
3. Enter a XC race with my Specialized BigHit Freeride bike. Thats 8 inches of travel with a triple-crown fork. 48 pounds , 2.5 tires, and alot of goodness!
4. Complete the "six-pack" at Firestone Walker Santa Barbara endurance race. If it wasnt hard enough to complete the whole 70 miles (6 laps), gotta chug a bottle of Firestone Walker Double Barrell Ale each lap. Thanks to Shortstack on that one.
5. SINGLESPEED !! At select Rim Nordic races, enough said about that. In memory of Jimbo.
6. Pedal to the top of Mammoth Mountain from the village (11,052 ft.). Who would like to join me? Thought so.
7. To have the meanest, toughest, loudest cheering section on the race course for the blokes racing. All must be wearing Futbol jerseys and yelling "Hooaahhh" . Drums are a plus. Air horns are welcomed. Beer is recommended.
8. Have Beer Pong tourneys @ select venues.
9. "Water-wars" during the races. I will be free-game for any other racer or spectator during my race. But you better watch out, I could strike back. Chris, no hiding behind Greg !
10. To have a great time , enjoy the races, drink the carbs, and dance the good-time-dance with the peeps!
