Getting stronger daily, I lost a big chunk of fitness with the stomach bug after Cascade but I’m fresh now and very motivated to regain my strength in time for nationals.  Headed to Chicago this weekend for Downers Grove then it will be back to Boulder for a big block of training before road and time trial nationals in Greenville, SC.  This weekend will be quite a shock to the system, definitely a good jump start before Greenville though.

Well, kinda.  Back on the bike and while not exactly tearing up the roads I am finally able to get some decent rides in. Back to back days of 4 hr mountain rides with intervals on the agenda.  Two weeks until national criterium champs and just under 4 weeks until road nationals.  Hope that the form continues to come around.  Two weeks of minimal riding and a weight loss of 8 pounds.  Not exactly the best prep for nationals.  On the plus side I’ve been getting some sweet rides in on Liz’s 1961 . So much fun, especially when we are able to go out together.
