I have been the observer of and often aid in many race preparations for Skip. I have repeatedly observed and finally termed a phrase for the phenomena that rears its head as the race approaches. It is the Pre Race Shut Down. This occurs a few days prior to departure for any big race. Despite a good positive attitude earlier the week, something changes. The desire to go to the race, pack for the race, and generally be pleasant to be around disappears. Weeks of over analysis wasted. This is where I know I need to step in and not allow Skip to derail his own train. I takeover the little errands, make the trips for spare tubes and equipment, make sure all needed clothing is clean, and generally keep things moving in a positive direction. Usually by departure time, the phenomena has somewhat subsided, so that he will actually go to the race.
Who can explain this strange occurrence to me?

Perhaps that explains the "Whipped" post as well.
I think Sartre would be the one you want to talk to about explaining this.
I don't know, but I would guess my wife would have a pretty good idea!
and Sartre would simply say, "Don't Let Skip forget his Jacket because it's cold in the middle of Iowa at 3 in the morning. Leg warmers will be nice too."
Give the guy a hug and tell him to have a nice ride.
good to hear I'm not the only this happens to.
the escaped Iowan wishes his royal badness the best of luck. go bring it to Iowa, they deserve it!
yeah, it's an odd thing,
but I too get that way,
good luck this weekend.
