Are you wanting others to actually read your posts.
You seem to have plenty of insightful comments, but yikes.
Any modern publisher would have you condense your thoughts, so our 21st century minds can move on to the next post.
BTW - I did catch a quickie from one of your novels.
I do not agree that a race organizer would be upset at Andy for "training" through their race.
Nobody can show up motivated at every event to get a result.
Remember the old days when guys raced 150x a year? Many days were for the k's.
