Epiphany

One of the definitions of an epiphany is "an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event). When reveiwing the last year I have had one of these. I had worked every available minute on the races we produced and timed. I did not train for anything and I did nothing else for my own pleasure. My reward for all that is that I ended the year broke and out of shape.

The intuitive grasp of reality that I had is that I have lost all touch with reality. I had tried to become everything I am not. That is a person that is too serious and too worried about things. I basically suck at that.

It is time to have some fun. Fun Todd Heady style. To most people that is going to be a sick and scarry thing.

I have lived most of my life doing what I like to do and I am going to get back to that. Now if after the warnings you have decided to read this I will tell you a little more about what you can expect. You are going to get my honest thoughts and opinions. Not the refined version you may get in other places. Even other places on this website. I am not going to worry about being politically correct or hurting anyone's feelings. If you are the sensitive type you should be reading ths anyway. If at any time you get offended stop reading. It is not that difficult of a concept.

If you have a comment or complaint about anything in this section of the website keep them to yourself. I really don't care.

I guess I can give you an idea of what to expect by telling you a little about me and the things that I like. I love to compete and to make it possible for others to compete. I love to train. I am very opinionated. I like to drink beer. Not that fancy shit that is in fasion now, but good old Budweiser. I chew tobacco. I eat for my pleasure and fuel not for my health. Much of what I eat I have killed myself. Keep that in mind when I say I like most animals I have met better than most people I have met. I do not mind suffering and I love to make others suffer. I did the airborne thing in the military. I love Shakespeare, and think Aristotle and Niccolo Machiavelli were both brilliant. Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in my lifetime and there has not been an actor worth a shit since John Wayne died. One of the major problems in the world is a lack off well deserved ass whippings. Take most of the people in Hollywood as an example. I think endurance athletes should know the names Zatopek, Lydiard, and Corbitt. I love gadgets, expecially bike stuff. I don't think that they are near as important as the motor. I think power meters, heart rate monitors, and the like are neat toys that people put too much stock in. Most of the people who write books on endurance sports care way more about getting rich than about making better athletes.

That is enough about me for now. If that does not convince you that you do not want to follow my thoughts and experiences there is not much more I can say to warn you off. Lets just see where things take us.
