It would have been a wonderful day for a road ride

I continue my losing streak at cross which makes me question how the sport came about. I am somewhat under the impression it has to do with the mainting fitness in the off season and a venue more suitable for inclement weather. I personally feel that with global warming that cross is somewhat obselete in consideration to our current weather trend. However, people seem to love it and the sport continues to grow. I struggle with it since I suck monters balls at barriers and run ups. I know, I know, practice practice practice. But eff that. That is no fun too me and after I have had a full day of dealing with the youth of America, I'll be damned if I take my troll shaped ass off into some grassy knoll to jump over some broke up sections of fencing. I prefer to strap on my lights, hop on the bike and roll off somehwere until my eyes roll into the back of my head. With that being said, I think my current training is right on target for a 60 mile road race in February with blustery winds and an average temp of 30. That certainly makes more sense then racing cross when it is in the 60's. Other things that are dumb......drugs and casinos.
