It will be a while. And I really don't think Dave pushes you as much as I do :-) (which may not be a bad thing …)
Dave certainly wasn't pushing today -- he'd raced on Saturday and run 20 on Sunday -- but that was fine. Just knowing he would be there meant I had to show up.
And there is a limit to how much it's good to be pushed. You want to stress yourself only up to a point.
You want to stress yourself only up to a point. I'm sure this is news to Phil.
Not news. But I sometimes don't recognize that point until I've passed it.
