Fury Sustained

Thanks to Scott Owens for the photo.

As I was finishing my Sabbatum solo preparation ride, the weather condition changed drastically.  Winds picked upwardly to gale force, temperature rapidly dropped.  An ominous chill together with damp grew.  The rains rapidly came.  And the hammering hail.  Thundering lightning.  Mother nature unleashed her fury on the 200 some illegal acres nosotros riders similar to telephone phone home.  Sitting inwards my van hoping golf game ball sized pellets would non intermission the windshield.....

And thinking almost the upcoming race season, what would move needed to non alone compete, merely to win.  Recent life circumstances meant things were going to move twice every bit difficult financially.  Along amongst a normal forty working strong hours, side jobs were taken inwards an attempt out to amass the scratch necessary, also every bit selling off parts squirreled away for years.  It would direct maintain been an appropriate chance to accept a twelvemonth off, to "regroup", every bit they say.  But that wasn't skillful enough.  I asked what it was going to accept to create this.  And inwards those brief, drenching minutes I was answered.

It was going to accept the same energy, the same tenacity, every bit the tempest that was similar a shot passing.

It was going to accept a fury.

A fury sustained.
