Michigan Redux

I'm leaving for Michigan again tomorrow in the early evening. Vacation? Training Camp? Working Remotely? A bit of all and not enough of the first two, I suspect.

The positive is that I will be a short distance from the Big M, home of the Lumberjack 100, as well as a section of the North Country Trail. The perfect place to work out my hand concerns and try to become reacquainted with some technical skill.

The obsession with 24/9 is beginning to gain further force as illustrated by the fact that I considered making a spreadsheet today to get ready. The confidence is low right now so hopefully dialing the details brings a relaxaton and comfort that not all is as bad as I think. A look at last year's top finishers show the value of consistency and I am going to work hard at keeping that in the front of my mind.

I'd probably be better off to simply plan on sharing a beer with Joe and Elk and not worrying about the rest.

Always better to share a beer with the Elk.

Beer and spreadsheets! If you can't figure out how to podium on those two things then you better switch to beer and more beer.
