Bananas

With all of the time spent on the bike, working on the bike, living the monastic, sheltered exisitence of a sort-of bike racer I look at the hour totals on trainingpeaks and wonder what could that time have REALLY produced? More money? Better career? I'll trade it for that subtle feeling of the bike having less resistence. Better than sitting on a park bench punching yourself in the nuts over and over. Pedaling is much better than most. Right now it feels like a warm blanket.
