Back on the bike!

Well, after a 5 month hiatus from the bike with basically no riding (I think i may have done 15 miles twice) I have been back on the bike for a month now.

For those that think/claim that this kind of break would ruin a season, I can honestly say with the utmost conviction that that is not true. After a few recent training races, group rides and field tests, have found that i still have a leg to pedal on! Threshold wattage is not where it was this time last year, but it is close. I will need to get my weight back down about 8 pounds and continue to work on threshold and then VO2 later in the year. I should be back in semi-top form by the last races of the year, when everyone else is burnt out! And then there's cross........

I have noticed that I feel incredibly fresh and have a renewed enthusiasim towards racing. On a personal note, we did move into the new house the beginning of May and it is mostly inhabitable, we just lack a few things to wrap it up. Ill post pictures soon.

The State championship RR's are this weekend. I will ride in the 30-34 on Saturday and then the Pro 1/2 on Sunday. We will see how i hold up to the 2 80 mile races back to back. One thing i don't have much of right now is endurance.

Ill try to post results next week.

Happy to be back and done with the hammer swingin for a while,

Zach
