my dad just sent me a text message saying “you could be cycling for team gb rn” bc it’s the first day of Olympic track cycling and I know like half of the team bc I used to train with them when I was younger 💀

#I went to oxford and this man is still disappointed with me 😭🤣#all I got from my track cycling years was a phobia of riding bikes but happy for those I know who went pro or whatever 🙄#it’s honestly a challenge of an event to watch for me I have very. odd trauma abt it I’m ngl #probably bc my dad made me do high performance sport against my will #bc he thought it would ‘cure my depression’#so I was stuck cycling and you’re physically stuck ON the bike when you ride #bc no breaks and your feet are strapped . idk that’s the terror I associate personally #but sure get me in the velodrome rn I can do a team persuit if you want 🤣#used to be my thing 😭😭😭😭#was a distance rider not a sprinter #weird that I ended up doing high Perf rowing later in life completely of my own volition where you’re kinda even more stuck in a boat lol #you can’t fall off in the same way though I always felt safer in a boat #anyway call me the queen of stereotypical British sitting down sports or w/e #tell me to stand up for my cardio and I’ll cry
