It is good to know that FT3 has friends far and wide. Early in the week when I was complaining about being wet and cold, I got some sound advise from a FT3 follower in Seattle. Justin (angleman.net link off to the right) told me to get a fender and HTFU. What the hell does HTFU mean? Well a quick check of the email indicated that Justin had sent a link with the new FT3 mantra. So today for the Mattman, when things got hard, the rash from the wet suite was raw, the stomach was upset, or I was cold, you got it, I just took the time to HTFU! More on the Mattman to follow! You need to ask yourself one question: Are you ready to HTFU? As we go into the next week of training and you are trying to decide between Tuesday night or PCRS, I saw HTFU and do both. If the family commitment is such that you have to train early, well HTFU and get it done. There was a new tradition established for S2FT3 that required proper "hydration" prior to riding, I saw we all HTFU and commit this tradition on all FT3 rides! On that midnight lap at the Cool 24, HTFU and remember you are racing! If you can't tell, I am a big fan of HTFU, thanks Justin, we will get some mileage out of this one!
Ghostrider, spot on mate, hope those wounds are getting better!

Matt Man, nice work. Way to HTFU and throw down hard as hell while you are at it. I've seen this one before, maybe from you? but it is a good one we should all keep in mind when in the "Pain Cave".
ReplyDeleteLooks like Jerry wins on the stitches count. I voted for 15, it looks like 12 in the photo. sd
ReplyDeleteI'mm consider an HTFU tattoo. Back or legs? Maybe forearm. I think I earned it.
