Well, yesterday was the start of the training. I rode home from work taking the old route I did last year. I rode hard for the first half and then hit a spot of about 5-7 miles that I felt like I had nothing left, then I felt fine on the final climbs back up to the park-n-ride where my truck was. The rain held off but the wind was ridiculous. It was blowing hard from the west and was right in my face for a lot of the ride which made the commute much more difficult.
I'm looking forward to just riding in consistently because when I ride home I don't get to my house until 7ish and then its not too long until the wifey gets tired and hits the bed. Def need to drop some lbs though. I am pondering taking the bus in and bringing my clothes in on those days and commuting without all of the extra racks and crap....we'll see.
Brought the gym bag today and I am gonna try and go for a run this afternoon from the city down to the platte river and run on the paved trail a little. Even if I take breaks from running a good walk will do my legs good anyway.
No mtb races lined up yet. This could be a dull year for racing with the baby coming, but, another year of spinning the legs will do me good for next year's races anyway. I am thinking of hitting 24 in the O.P. again to redeem myself from the lackluster performance of this past year. We'll see if "Sally" and "Leggs" are up for it.
peace.
