Headin to the Wind

The other day I did yet another 100 mile bike ride.  I am not complaining mind you…..It’s just I have this nagging question….

WHY DOES A HEAD WIND NEVER BECOME A TAIL WIND?????

I thought at first it was just a Colorado thing…you know the old “if you don’t like the weather wait 10 minutes” kinda thing. 

But then I got out here to California and the same dang thing keeps happening.  That darn head wind just doesn’t become a tail wind……

Every time I get out to ride and there is a headwind  I never curse it…I actually am always grateful to be riding in windy conditions because I’m pretty sure Ironman Cozumel (IMCZ) will be pretty windy on the bike.  I know that the more I train in the wind the less the wind will bug me come race day….theoretically speaking that is.

I have learned to embrace the wind.  The wind is my friend and I actually don’t mind it one bit……again- good training for IMCZ- but dagnabit if I never get the pleasure of a rockin tail wind….but I guess that’s part of the training too….Do you think Cozumel might have Tail Winds????

Hummmm—until next time—–”The answer my friend, is blowin in the wind, The answer is blowing in the wind…..”
