The second season
Not too much to report on this fine day. Got the AC’s installed the other nite (after a trip to Home Despot for hardware), so summer is o-fish-ally upon us. Plus, the cherry tree’s are rockin’ in the back yard. Only about a week left before I am cramming as many red and yellow cherries into my face as possible, and probably end up urinating out of my ass. Good stuff!
Also, now that Mt. Snow is in the books, it’s time to get serious about the road again. Next Thurs-Sun will be 4 days of racing up at the Fitchburg Stage Race, so I’m being careful about my training and eating. Mostly not over-eating and over-training. I feel pretty good, and I think I am peaking now, but it is a delicate 2 weeks for me. I have to avoid getting sick at all costs.
Depending how I feel tomorrow, I may hit up a local training crit, then do the Ninegret race on Saturday, then its time for the big taper-down.
who are you working with for teamates at fitchburg?
no real plans as of yet, but I know Tom Hopper will be there as well too… if anyone helps get me up the mountain first in the Road Race, I will split my $$$ with them.
Other than that, the goal is to place top 5 in the ITT, and then roll in safe with the pack for the circuit race and criterium. I don’t care if I’m last in the field sprints.
