Welcome Back to Racing!

Training has been dodgy at best these past few months. I decided to enter a bike race this weekend, so I figured I should put in some training time on the bike. With a solid 14hrs on the bike under my belt this week, I thought I'd be golden for the race... ;-) The actual race went quite well, though my result was not what I had hoped for. My greatest accomplishment of the day was avoiding the mid-race pile up and finishing the day unscathed. Despite a good setup at the end of the race, I had no giddyup for the final sprint and finished mid pack.

This training thing is not catching on like I hoped it would. Time to pony up and commit to some regimented workouts.

Next race: Eagle Creek Park Crit on May 9
