Time to Get Serious and Focus



Now its time to buckle down and get focused. I say this light heartedly because I believe part of the success that I have had has been from my easy going and fun attitude. I do get focused and take my racing seriously, but I have fun doing it. I will still have fun race morning talking to people and my competitors. That is part of what keeps me relaxed before and during the race. I have realized that there is nothing I can do on race day to really improve my performance besides making the best of it. I have put in months of training for race day and I have focused and sacrificed a lot for that day. I know I have done my part and now it is time to let go of everything I have done and trust in how I have prepared and be confident that it has been the right amount with the right intensity. So I will head into the race with an attitude of knowing there is no more that I can do and give it all up to God and what he wants to happen on that day. He is control and without him nothing is possible, but with Him everything is possible.

Hey Chris - Positive vibes from Maui brah! Sorry I couldn't make it to Kona but your blog has been great. Love the new bike. I'll be watching ironmanlive.com and cheering and praying for you and Allister for a safe race with some great results.

Take care and I look forward to your next trip to Maui. Sorry though, no SRAM Red cassettes in my toolbox!

Aloha,

Gary

Chris,

Great race. The wife was gone this weekend so I had a chance to watch the entire race via the live web feed. You punished them on the bike. Way to stick it to them. You showed a ton of heart when Macca caught you on the run and you went step for step with him for a bit. I am sure you had him wondering if you could keep it up... It looks like you left everything you had on the course. Great to see that You took 6th at the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Feel good about that accomplishment. Your sponsors should love you with all the time you spent in the lead. I can't wait to hear your stories on the race next time I see you on the bakery or hop ride.
Recover and spend some quality time with the family.

Hello,

I'm just browsing sites for the kids of Haiti.

I'm doing my part for a non-profit group that gives time to
building an oppurunity for the children in haiti. If anyone here wants to give money then do so here:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They give children in Haiti a positive outlook through education.

And yes, they're a real cause.

It would be great if you could help

Perhaps you have noticed this at some time or another throughout the course of your day. Yet as with quite a few things, there is more to it and some things should be thoroughly thought about.

Given that, people have seen enough so they do have a handle on it even if they tend not to understand all of it. However, you and many others still would like to be more informed on this matter. So in that spirit, here are several important points regarding this subject you may appreciate knowing.

The general complexities of men's and women's style

Both men and women can feel the difficulties of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion usually seems a lot simpler. Of program, for both genders, clothes and fashion choices could be quite as intricate, and there are many'cool'things that can easily become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people walking on in 70s flames? On the other side, men's fashion has a few choice things that can exist eternally - which man is likely to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Select basic cuts, colors and materials and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why basic men's fashion is timeless

The classic man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous versions for different occasions, nevertheless they are all popular in their pursuit of a wise, sharp search for the person. The good thing about basic fashion for men is that it's effectively trendy effortlessly cool. A well-groomed man can typically appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such apparel. A suit will undoubtedly be utilized to work in several occupations due to the professional look it offers to the individual, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a suit will be used to many social functions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This amazing versatility that enables matches to be worn in virtually all events is what gives it its amazing edge and a permanent devote men's fashion.

Modern developments in traditional men's style

Though classic men's styles can never be replaced, it is interesting to observe that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced certain basic garments back to fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, especially, has brought back a wide-variety of common types into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who dress in a classic yet lavish way, placing importance on appearance and operating in a sophisticated approach. This pattern for almost'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is apparent from events like the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages clothe themselves in obviously Victorian-style attire and take to the streets on vintage bikes - with most of the men sporting perfect mustaches! This is only one of many types of evidence displaying the resurgence of such types. Additionally, there are numerous blogs on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole websites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, though specific facets of common men's fashion could be brought back as new trends, the essential outfits that they are derived from will never fall out of fashion.
