Shrapnel Awesome

So, here's some awesomeness for you. I went back to Monday night practice. Tonight we did two laps of the Moffit/Browns Woods/Rassy loop. It's got a lot of names, and  it is a hilly mother. I wasn't the only gal off the back, but it was pretty lonely. Where does the awesomeness happen?

I did it! It's terrifying and humiliating, but it is also awesome. Go me. 56 Awesomeness points.

I've been suffering from some bike team anxiety.  It takes a lot of moxie, at least for me, to ride with those girls.  Not that they aren't the nicest folks in the world, but they are faster than me, and it's a workout to keep up.  And, it's not easy on the old emotional state to be way off the back, but I realized I need to sack it up and get fearless.  Sucking at something is the only way to get better, right?
