happy new year

sitting in the car getting ready to warm up for topsport stage race. this is the first stage race for chris and i, and neither of us are all that excited, really. got to the hotel late, and up early, but fortunately my race isn't for another hour and a half so i have some time to relax and warm up. that hasn't typically been the case so far this season.

my goals this time around are to push myself as hard as i can during the TT, and then stay with the pack for the circuit and road races. we'll see how it goes. planning to start going to the late wednesday night spin class starting this week, since i don't think i'm getting in enough training during the week.

chris is heading out to the TT; we'll see how it goes.

wrap up

circuit race and TT complete. circuit race was fairly easy; nobody pushed the whole time so just a few hard efforts to catch up after the turnarounds; probably too hard but it wasn't bad. a few riders went down after the first lap but otherwise it was easy and relaxing.

nearly caught my minute man but just didn't have enough in the wind to seal the deal. ~29:05 which would have won in cat 5, but at least one guy got 27:something so we'll see. time to go TT bike shopping!

met my meager goals for today, so still just trying to stay with the leaders tomorrow and we'll see how the legs feel after a few creme eggs tonight.

good night

nice big pasta dinner and should get around 8 hours of sleep tonight. no idea what the gc looks like, although i'm at least two minutes down. we'll see what happens tomorrow.
