Sursee Report…

Sursee Post… [Not the report]
Another WIC race. “Just another day at the office.”…well let’s not go that far.
Sursee was stupid. Massi hit me. So did Yann. So did everybody. Even Ben Alchin. He’s the worst, and as far as I’m concerned, he owes me a pretty big favour. Take that, internet.
With the busiest part of the WIC season is upon me here in Switzerland, I seem to have an impending potential backlog of reports to write. I must say that at this point, I feel like it is something of a responsibility to have these done, and online, and to write them. I do want to communicate my feelings, emotions, perspective, experience(s), and of course the skating stuff to my family and friends. This serves as my primary communication to all the people I love back home. I don’t send mass emails telling people my latest news and gossip. I don’t send postcards, and I rarely make phone calls. This mode, I believe, leaves a lot to the reader to assess what is really going on with me. I think that there is more in this website than simply the words I type and broadcast. The time between posts, my ‘text’ mood, the direction, and focus of each post speaks more than the content of the posts themselves, though much of what is communicated through these more subtle differences from post to post are communicated inadvertently, and usually (for the most part) unintentionally.
With that said, I want you all to know that at the same time this website, and my writing is for me. I am documenting my own travels, and assembling the closest thing to a scrapbook as I ever have. I like that. I also find the writing therapeutic. Not just the putting of words together, and the quiet time that it serves me, but more importantly, it gives me the time [and ‘forces’ me] to go over the memories that jump out at me over a race or a training ride, or training on the track, or walking through the streets and understand and rationalize them a little deeper.
There is something of a ‘symbiotic relationship’ going on here. (haha)… I know people are following the site, and may even be waiting for each race report. I feel that pressure, and it is perfectly fine with me. In fact, it helps me stay motivated and disciplined with it, and the training, racing, and everything else I do here. So basically, thank you. Thank you for reading, and following the site, and serving that function in my life and living experience. Thank you. It is additional motivation in all aspects of my life, I recognize that, and I thank you all for being a part of that experience.
I also think that it is popular or fashionable for people to ignore and even deny this impact in their lives. I can’t help but feel that denial is bogus. What do you think? Am I off the wheel here? How many of you reading this now know what I’m talking about? How many of you think I’m crazy?
I will soon post the Sursee Report. You will have to navigate to find it. I am going to post a bunch of pictures over the next few posts, and there will be fewer words. I hope you all tell me what you think. Take a look at this video [10secs]… it sums up the smaller things that seem to pop up at me everyday…
Oh, and this guy (yes, same day):
