Salt Water Fish vs Fresh Water Fish

Teenie and I participated in the Fab 4 today at Tryon.  Katie Malone and a host of folks put on a really nice 'event'.   Good course, lots of volunteers, good and healthy food after.

I must confess, I had a miserable time.   I have not been in this sport all my life but long enough to 'find myself'.   I am bike racer.   I ride in training and do just fun rides, but my heart is in racing.

Today's event was not a race, although I could have raced it but I did not.  After signing up, this was second mistake.  Going back to my opening statement, we participated and did not race.

The event draws many VERY STRONG good riders.   I saw a lot of these people excited and having a very good time.

About once a year, it seems I have to do a cookie ride to remind me I don't do cookie rides.  I am not a participant, I am a racer.

OK, let's get back to the fish thing.....there are salt water fish and fresh water fish.   Neither is better, just different.  Salt water fish don't get into fresh water much and vise versa.  I just need to remember which one I am.
