Taper

Time to rest for the 100.Did 40 out of Robinson Flat with C.Holmes yesterday,we wanted to check out the start which is a narly desent and the climb out which should be interesting after around 75 or 80 miles.Looking forward to the challenge,going to warm up some by the weekend,been waiting for this one all year,im excited!

100 miles

Getting close to the Tahoe Sierra 100,took the last 3 days off but will be back at it tomorrow.Did a grueling 38 miles with C.Holmes on Sunday.It was part of the course,nothing easy about it and we didnt even ride any of the rough stuff.I need to stay focused and positive,the last 23 miles or so are suppose to be the hardest with a good 6 or 7 mile climb,i need to get to that point as fast s i can so i have plenty of time to finish it.Nerves are coming out!

Slacking

So that is how i have felt lately.So today i went out and did a 4 hour 50 mile ride.It was great and i feel good.So hopfully this will put me back in the swing of things.Tahoe Sierra is just around the corner so i dont want to overdo it.There is that little time frame where one needs to be so careful.

Road ride

Did a nice road ride with Noram Jean,what a blast she is.Always ready to show me a new ride.Think i am gonna hit the Cisco Grove to Trukee route Mon.About 44 miles.Should be good.Feeling a little better,not as tired as i was.Not a good time to get fatigued with just a few weeks left until the T.S.100,got to start feeling much more energy.

Time off

Took a week off the bike and am now ready to go starting tomorrow.My legs felt trashed last weekend and it was not fun.So hopfully i needed some rest and tomorrow will be a good day.I have a long mtb ride then up to Truckee for a long roade ride with Norma Jean,stay tuned.

lacking energy

Feeling pretty run down today but getting ready to head out on the road for a few miles,hopefully it will make me feel better.Have stayed off the bike for a couple days to rest.Did some good road miles on my days off and need to continue that with alot of climbing to prepare for the T.S.100 and Moab.

Over

Kirkwood 9 to 5 is in the books.I raced in the sport class and finished 6th or 7th,it was really hard.Straight up climb ,then across the mountain and back dow.No breaks,always having to pay attention on the course or you would get in trouble.I dont feel as bad as i thought today,did 6 laps.Two years ago i would have stopped on this course after a lap or 2,i am very happy and proud that i forced on.
