I'm not even going to attempt to make excuses about my total absence over the past few months. Let's just say I stopped consistently training in March, rode my fitness through April and promptly lost it all in the middle of May.
This upcoming season has a huge question mark written all over it. I really wanted to go to Cross Vegas this year, both for the experience and to race on the national level again but just a few weeks ago the organizer dealt us all a surprise: this year's event would be invite-only. With no UCI points to draw from I have a better chance of beating Ryan Trebon in a slam dunk contest than I do of gaining a spot on that star-studded start line. Oh well, maybe one day.
After that "snub" I'd planned on just keeping it simple, staying close to home and having fun. The last few weeks of training have changed that. This year I feel fast. On almost no training. Maybe there's something to this whole 'don't overtrain' thing.
There have been a few hiccups over the past few months but I'm happy to say I'll be out there for a full cx season. My schedule isn't completely set in stone yet but I'm aiming for at least two USGP weekends but with no Cross Vegas or Starcrossed (not UCI this year) it's going to be tough to pick up any UCI points. Anyone want to fly me to Japan or New Zealand?
