Racing

Allow me to wax poetic for a bit...

I just watched 24 Solo. It's about Chris Eatough's run for a 7th 24 Hour solo world championship. It was great. I knew exactly what those guys were going though. I don't compete quite on that level but I still give it everything I have when I do any endurance race, be it a 24 solo, 12 solo or a 100 miler. One of the central themes of the movie that I think they tried to convey was why do it. I don't know if they really captured it. I don't know why anybody does it. I think the everyone has their own reasons. For me it's about finding a limit and pushing beyond it.
