14th is the new 2nd.

1.) Tough guy of the weekend award goes to: Jimmerc

2.) Best parking spot of the weekend goes to: me
3.) Biggest assumers of the weekend: Pellis/Dale/me (apparently it is extremely difficult for four officials to keep track of 15 riders)

4.) Biggest "got screwed over" award of the weekend: Pellis (see #3)

5.) Biggest benefactor of our assumption that 4 officials can keep track of 15 riders: the >real< 4th place rider who collected 3rd place money. (hey, gas prices are high and it costs a lot of money to drive from St. Cloud. Good for you for not questioning the results. You know you were 4th, and we will remind you of it.)

Thanks Pete. Strange how we keep ending up in the same moves together.

Check into it again, as a filthy rich st. cloud rider there is no need for me to want to get an extra $10-$15 bucks to drive down in one of my 3 Hummers. Are you kidding me dude? You think I really just took the third place money, try again. I knew I wasn't third, I can count...quite well actually ask me how to at Gluek, and it just so happened that I did ask about it when I went to collect. I was told I took 3rd because I won a prime as well(i.e. a points prime) having done several other points races before why was I to think otherwise. The organizers told me that was the scoop,I am usually a pretty trusting person, so in my state of enjoyment from my second Cat 2 race ever I don't think it really came across my mind to argue it. Sorry it worked like that but thats what I was told. I am a brand new Cat 2 rider that was planning on having a survival season, with one other team mate in the Cat I am clearly not one to go looking to make enemies in the peleton. If you didn't notice they did not really have there shit together, I even got the 2nd place riders prize from the 4th prime instead of my 1st place prize from the 3rd..it was about a $40 difference they already gave mine away, oh well I like to race. I know their ducks weren't in a row so instead of blaming me about it, why not try to clear it up, Hell maybe at another race that we will all inevitably see each other at, unless you only plan to race once a year?

I like it. A new face to the peleton full of spunk and not afraid to stand up for himself. I was torqued after the race and had to blame someone. I chose you since I don't know you (btw, people actually read my blog? nice)

Keep that fire in your belly and you will go far young Jedi. Sorry about getting you all worked up.

Don't be sorry...he actually enjoys spouting off well thought out fragments of words to form provoking sentences. The compliment will go straight to his head. Really though...you guys crack me up.

Rough Stretch

 The past week or so has not been a good one for me. I have not been able to sleep which seemingly has fueled my ADHD which keeps me up at night, and I'm tired fueling ADHD, and I don't sleep. On and on and on.... ADHD combined with depression and anxiety makes for a cocktail of a mess. Depression and anxiety aside, ADHD for me has always been disruptive. Depression and anxiety at least have a function and/or purpose, for me these are protectors from vulnerability. But ADHD is just how things operate, it's nature and not nurture.  I struggle with staying on tasks through to completion, even ones that I get hyper focused on. On any given day when I'm doing a chore around the house, laundry, dishes, vacuuming....I usually get to the 70% completion point, if that sometimes, and call it good. There will be three dishes in the sink vs ten. Most of my laundry will be completed, but a good chunk will remain in the basket and probably get washed a second time as I start putting

Back Again

 Running up hill on sand is tough, a lot of effort with little gains. That is what this past year has felt like. While I feel I have my ADHD somewhat under control, I still struggle with depression, impulsiveness, and emotional fluctuations.  I also stopped therapy. I thought for a while that I was okay and could handle life but only to find that I still need help. I’ll be meeting with a new therapist later this week and am hopeful for a fresh perspective and is someone who will hold me accountable. I feel like my last therapist was the start I needed. I was lost in how and where and what to work on. I feel I was able to get things in motion and found some direction. I confused those first few steps with being well on my way to recovery.  I’m bummed that it took me a year to gain that perspective because if I stuck with it I would actually further along in my recovery. I don’t resent or feel guilt for falling back into old routines. I would only feel guilty if I didn’t try and work on

Spiraling

 I often get caught in an emotional downward spiral and can't stop it. It happens quite often and is most disruptive at night. I can't sleep and can't calm myself. My anxiety really kicks into high gear and I catastrophize everything in my world.  I'm not good enough. I'm not smart enough. Everyone else has a better existence than me. Everyone else has a better relationship with their spouse. The list goes on, and on, and on, and on.  I don't know how this starts with me nor do I know how to bring myself out of it. I have talked to my therapist about it and we are working on it, but it really hangs over me. It's tiresome.  I like to think that someday I'll be better equipped to recognize what is happening to me in these moments. I have a lifetime of this in me and takes work, a lot of work, to resolve what's going on. I don't feel like I am always doing the work required. I give in to easy to the decades of inaction and give up and just move on w
