Just a couple too many f-bombs even if it was under my breath.

I was streaming a race I was doing on Zwift the other day, and somebody messaged me "GOGOGOGO!!!" several times when I was still 600+ m out. I was like "shut the **** up, I've already burned too many matches for such a stupid long sprint" but then went anyway because if I was going to sprint for 50th place out of a pack of 6 anyway, why not blow up spectacularly. Thought about deleting the whole stream in case he saw it later, but, since no one else but me watches my streams (and I only do when I have another race on the same route later and I want to do recon), I left it up. I'm still the only one who's watched it, so I'm not worried about offending him.
Lol. That's a pretty solid tirade, bravo.

And holy crap, parents e-mailing you that the kids are sick? When I was in college (in the South...) that would never have crossed my mind. I barely even talked to my parents.
