on tuesday i was watching the melbourne cup with The Squeeze (not my telly choice – i have no interest) while killing some time on the couch.
the one thing i remember about this ‘race that stops a nation’, after the rain and the way they put their arms around the horses’ bums to get them into the gate, was the winning jockey’s triumphant lap of honour in front of the crowd.
and you know what i remember about that ride? saying out loud “MAN that guy has a strong center – look at THAT!”. i am obsessed. it’s just facinating. if your core is stable – your belly/torso, etc – you waste less energy and your movement is better.
seeing as how that jockey won, i bet strong centers are important to him. or to his horse.
