A great title, and amazing song. This is for G, while he's dealing with recovery from surgery. Not too many years ago we were doing some pretty amazing physical feats with our road and track cycling. The sort of thing that most people haven't experienced, the pain from exertion and the skills required to race strategically and just make a metal machine do your bidding, all while risking life and limb while wearing the thinnest clothing that you hope might spare a few skin layers if you hit the pavement at 45kph. Or 70kph if you were coming down Cypress Mountain after a 45 minute climb up.
It's the sort of thing non-adrenaline junkies can't really fathom, as they post endless photos of themselves sweaty after doing a cardio kickboxing class, or running a 5k fun run. It's the type of thing that makes it harder for ex athletes to deal with sitting on a couch for weeks accepting what's been dealt to them.
But he'll just have to deal with this like an injury, and focus on smart recovery so we can get back to work together, and hopefully back on the bikes.
For now, just brain exercise in the form of music. Enjoy.
