Its February 4th...

Stress. I just cant do without it I guess. Whenever I get rid of some I seem to so quickly replace it with even more than what it was. I've made a big, but exciting (well to me anyway), decision to be annouced later - not having to do with racing. However, that's also driven me to get workouts in (and in some rather unorthodox types for a bike racer - but fun) for some stress relief. Keeping to quality not quantity for now as I ease into the routines again - about 3 to 4 good efforts per week for now and will ramp up over the next few weeks. As long as this persists I will keep on my goal to start the season in the Comp class...I think...probably...yes...

Still training off the bike...since I don't have a bike. This should change over the next few weeks as well. Between the TC bike swap meet this weekend and the guys at Trailhead I should have something sweet together within the next two to three weeks. I love new equipment - pics will be posted. I'm questioning whether I want to try racing singlespeed this year...this has brought some to question my sanity...but, you'll have that.

See ya the swap - I'm planning on Comp this year but my training motivation hasn't been cooperating.

Afton Alps is a great place to get in some local skiing.

A great training schedule at this time of the year includes running stairs,(outside). Up and down local mountain bike trails in the woods. Short 30 yard sprints in a flat area are good. These .75- 1 hour work-outs will really help with singe speed off-roading... equals power.

Add slow, long 2.5 - 4 hour activities. Could be down-hill skiing if you go non-stop, equals endurance.
