[RC] Time and Money to do this Sport - k s swigartMike Lewis said: It seems difficult for us mid-30-somethings with a "regular job" and family responsibilities to dedicate the time and money endurance racing requires to be successful. I'm not here to gripe as much as I'm looking for folks' anecdotes telling me I'm not so unique in my search to give endurance racing more priority in my life despite job responsibilities and pay situation that makes doing so difficult. :-) Would be interested in hearing from folks who are excelling in this sport despite demands of job/ family/pay situations. The way you do it is to give up the "regular job" that doesn't allow you the flexibility to do it and get one that does....like self-employment, or be good enough at your job that your employer is willing to accommodate your schedule requirements. Whatever job you have IS a choice. If you want to do endurance, you need to choose a job that allows you to. All you have to decide is whether riding endurance is more or less important to you than having a "regular job." Then you can tell your current employer, "I need Friday off." and if he is unwilling to give it to you, you can quit or he can fire you if you take it off anyway. kat Orange County, Calif. :) How'd ya do it? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
