Great Week!! Disclaimer: You Can’t Hold Anything Against Me because It’s Past my Bedtime.
This week was an absolute great week. A lot of different things happened. I had to learn how to deal without riding or swimming. That is always an interesting dynamic. I even explained to Rey about learning to love road cycling: sometimes we have to learn how to love what we hate because sometimes the things that we love are taken away from us. We have to learn how to channel that passion for mountain biking into another avenue. And I'm so proud, he went out and had a great road ride. Find

Here’s What They Took out of my Hand
No idea what it is, it's not Maui, could be asphalt, so she sent it to Pathology. The incision has 3 stitches. It's tiny, bigger compared to the size of the thingy. Glad it's out.

I XC skied yesterday, and although I xc skied last year on my birthday (not really skiing more like carrying really heavy wet snow on my long platform shoes on the horse trails). Other than that, I XC skied a few times in Winona, once in Big Sky, but haven't REALLY been skiing since I was a teenager. Every time I have skied, it's been flat.

Conditioning Psychology For Early Race Season The Key to Well Rounded Racers: Training What You Don’t Want to Train
Sean McCann, Ph.D., Sport Psychologist First: Avoiding fears makes the fears stronger. Second: Overcoming fears requires exposure to the things you fear.

There is one obvious parallel between being a predictable, one-dimensional racer, and having specific race fears. Beginning Tip: Many beginners train too much on their own. By finding a group ride, you will develop physical and mental skills you need for races. Intermediate Tip: Be careful not to limit yourself in early season races. Just because you haven't
What does Caveman say, “Keep on, Keeping on”?
A lot of other people say it too, it's a song, and such. But I can't help but think that sums it up. It's a lonely road right now, A Very Lonely Road A very lonely road that weeps of sorrow. If there was one person in the world, just one, that was going through what I was going through, or had a small incline of what I've been going through. I once wrote an article: per my Team Captain: Jay Ellis "The Trials and Tribulations of an Endurance Athlete". This was a race review of my experiences in Maui at
