On The Road Again

Well today was my first day back on the road bike and man was it hard.I had no problems keeping up on the hills but suffered like no other on the flat sections.I really suffered trying to hang with the big boys and I think Ill be paying for today's hard efforts,Tomorrow!I'm hoping things will improve quickly now that I have more free time and since I was told that shammy time does not qualify for training time if your sitting on the couch watching races in your bib shorts.
Great winter training plan !!

Going No Where Fast!

I had no idea how I was gonna feel on my first long ride back.I started off telling my self lets go 10 miles then it went to 20 then next thing I know I'm in winters having already rode 20 miles.So by the time I cut through and got home I had rode 46miles and man did it take forever...
I felt like I was going so slow at 200watts.The best part is now I get to train with my friends now that I have a more compliant work schedule.Here is the latest photo from my last cross race,heading to a strong second place In the Mens B on a very technical course.

Did You Miss Me ?

No!,okay,
Anyways I'm back and ready to start base training real soon.Hopefully Ill see you guys out on the road!

TT

I had a good time last night with a 23:06 but I still feel like there is room for improvement.With nationals approaching quickly I'm gonna try to squeeze in some TT time before heading off to Bend.The nationals course has a hill on the way out and down hill on the way back.I don't get to practice many TTs like that but with the experience gained at Red River I think Ill do okay.

Best of luck to all those who are fighting it out at cascade ....

one week to go

Nationals are coming up in the next few weeks so im trying to take it easy.With a idea of how the races will go im confident that if I race for myself in the road race all will be well.I have big hope for nationals this year and hope that my climbing is good enough to hang with the top guys.Ive decided to skip cascade to recover from my trip to Kentucky.With a lot of people riding cascade I hope that it will make me that much fresher for the 3 days of racing to come at the end of this month.I don't really know the weather in Bend,Oregon but if its like Kentucky then im not to worried.Zach also has high aspirations for nationals this year and I hope to help him in the crit.Now to finish watching the tour and just relax before I leave next week.

making a comeback
