Last Saturday night I had the opportunity to go see Bruce Springsteen in concert. He is rapping up the final leg of his tour which is promoting his latest album, “Working On A Dream”. This was the 3rd time I have seen “The Boss” in concert and he and the band did not disappoint. Bruce and The E-Street Band are playing what will be their final shows at Giants Stadium as the stadium will be torn down after the NFL Football season is over. For those who are not familar with Giants Stadium, it is the home to the New York Football Giants and Jets. Bruce has played over 25 shows in this stadium through out the years. It is located in the swamps of jersey known as the Meadowlands. Bruce and his family live just down the turnpike in Monmouth County, in fact many of my training rides go right past their estate.
It was an absolutely perfect night for a concert with clear skies temps in the 60s .With a big bright full moon over head my sister, brother, brother in law, and I danced the night away on the floor of Giants Stadium. The band rocked out to many of their legendary songs such as Out In The Street, Born In The USA, Glory Days, Dancing In The Dark, Born To Run, Jersey Girl, and Thunder Road. He also played numerous tracks off his new album, “Working On A Dream”. Above is the video for the title track to this album. When Bruce played this song, my brother in law Jimmy, jumping up and down with excitment must have turned to me 5 0r 6 times and saying, “Scottie Boy, this is you, he is singing to you!!” Infering I am in deed “Working On A Dream”!! I thought about this quite a bit yesterday as I was out on my long ride. “Working On A Dream”, yes indeed that is what I was out doing, that is what all of us at Team TBB are doing, Day in and day out it’s work, work, work! Yes we treat our training like a job because you must ! But is it really a job if you get up everyday and love what you are do?
It’s Kona week and I have watched over the world wide web as my fellow teammates have been training in Korea working on their dreams while I have been home in New Jersey using them as motivation and working on my dream! Work, lots of work is what it takes to make your dreams come true!!! So on Saturday morning when you guys are treading water in Kailua Kona Bay, think about all the work that you have put in to get where you are at that moment. Don’t take it for granted, embrace it!!! You all have worked your arses off to get where you are!! While you are out there racing your hearts out, I will be out my bike working on my dream!!! Good Luck Guys!!! Go Team TBB!!
