Variations on a Theme

The other day, Claire brought up Bullitt as proper training inspiration.

Today, my suggestion is "Le Mans." It is at least worth one good session on the rollers... if you are inclined to ride indoors this weekend while the temps bounce below zero. 100+ minutes of vary little dialogue and plenty of auto racing. Actual auto racing with left turns, hairpins, chicanes, and the like with no stuntmen or CG. One of the best movie lines ever as well:

"When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting."

Yesterday I watched "Tears of the Black Tiger", which is a Thai western, gangster, romeo&juliet, Tarantino sort of flick. Crazy at is sounds.

I'm going to have to check out Le Mans!

I stared at the carpet.

Dude, you really are taking training for the WEMS too far. You don't have to practice Le Mans starts indoors, unless you're running from the kitchen to the living room, that's what, 50 strides for you?

Yup, good one.
