Yes, I’m a big huge slacker. I just realized that I have not written on my blog for ages…and I really have no excuse.
So, I have decided that I won’t talk your ear off with all my fabulous (word of the day) stories about all my cycling adventures, because it would just take too long to get all the juicy details in. Instead, I will feature a bullet point rendition of the past few weeks. I’m sure it won’t be near as exciting, but it will take less time for you and me.
- Table Rock: did I write about table rock? I think I did…cause that was Llama land.
- Deschutes River Valley TT: I’m not sure if I previously wrote about this, but it was awesome. I kicked butt…it was hard, not hard…BRUTAL! Got 1st place out of the W3’s and got the fastest overall women’s time. It was awesome. I also came away witha major hurting underside because of lack of a comfortable TT saddle. It is time to do some saddle research.
- Icebreaker Crit: fun, somewhat easy, got 3rd. Got boxed in a little at the sprint and when I started my sprint I was at about 120rpms and had to shift multiple times to actually get into a gear that would propel me forward. Needless to say, I had it at the end, but didn’t plan correctly. Such is life. Better next time.
- Prior to Icebreaker Crit: Got my 2 upgrade. I’m officially a Cat II!!!!
- Prior to Icebreaker Crit: Chris proposed! I’m engaged!!!! The wedding date is not decided but will probably take place next summer. Exciting times!
- Training: been good. I’ve been going through heat acclamation as a part of a human phys study at the UO. I’m in post testing phase and it is getting me great results, so that is awesome! Other than that, it’s just back to base for me. I’m not planning on peaking until late July, so I have plenty of time to get some more miles in. It’s been nice, and actually got around 20 hours last week and I feel great. It’s sort of worrysome because I’m not getting a huge amount of hard efforts except for races, and I feel like I’m loosing some of my mo-jo, but I start building again next week, so it should all come back soon!
- Other stuff: Nada. Still no job. Still riding my bike.
- New favorite desert at Sweet Life: Blackbottom Cup cake! AMAZING! If you get it, have them warm it up. It’s absolutely fabulous!
