I HATE RACING. I LOVE RACING.

I HATE RACING.  I LOVE RACING.

RACING FOR ME IS A LOVEHATE RELATIONSHIP.  I hate racing, everything about it.  I love racing...

... everything about it.

I hate racing because it constrains my time
I love racing because there's a deadline.

I hate what competing brings out in me,
I love what competition brings out in me.

I hate feeling I could have done better.
I love knowing I left it all on the course.

I hate saying no to cake,
I love the feeling of a healthy body.

I hate paying to race,
I love the commitment when I lay down the cash.

I hate going to bed early,
I love waking up early to get it all done.

I hate the expense of a race bike,
I love the precise feeling of a race bike.

I hate lifting weights,
I love feeling strong.

I hate mechanical failure,
I love that I can now fix most racing mechanicals quickly.

I hate racers who take it seriously,
I love racers who take it seriously and show me what's possible.

I hate losing,
I love learning from my losses.

and...

I hate admitting all this,
I love that you can relate to most (all?) of it.
