…Maybe the endurance hasn’t entirely forsaken me, made it through 2hrs of riding with a couple 20min intervals just below race pace, that after 2hrs of core & upper body workouts.
Gotta say though..shoot, it’s cold out there. 14 degree with 15mph winds = damn what am I doing outside riding my bike? Oh, that’s right, riding a trainer/roller indoors has the appeal of pulling splinters out from underneath my fingernails. And skiing? Oh, yeah, if you can any find reasonable abundance of the semi-crystalized molecular form of H2O but that’s pretty hard to come by this year even this far north.
On the positive side…I look at it this way, it’s now closer to April 1st looking forward than it is looking back to Christmas. In another couple blinks of the eye there’ll be open singletrack & dirt trails to ride on.
Had a great conversation with Coach Gordy this week on the upcoming season. Gave him the green light to put me thru the necessary pain to cook up ideas to tease some more power and endurance outta these legs & lungs.
Also looking forward to seeing familiar faces this season and undoubtedly meeting new ones as the turnover and interest in MTB’ing and Cyclo-cross changes as do people lives. It’s too got me pondering coming up with a list of predictions for the 2012 seasons…..Hmmm…. got any ideas or suggestions toss things into the comment section..
