What to do ?

The last couple of weeks have been hard training as usual and mentally preparing for the season. The body is adapting well and I am starting to see some power. I went to Greenville last Sun. to train on the course and spectate. It sounds like Sat. was a mess with everybody coming home with bodies and bikes in tact except Thad getting some stitches from a chainring.
My big dilemma is this weekend. I had planned on racing the road race Sat. but they are calling for rain. Trainer--Road race in the rain??? Safety---possible medical insurance deductable being met??? What to do. I guess I will decide tonight and in the morning.
On a high note Dave won the single speed 12hr MTB race in FLA last week. We also had confirmed that Low Country will come thru.
The family is well and the cat is still sleeping 22 hours a day, so all is good.

Warmer temps

Finally a weekend with warmer temps. I got 5 hrs in on Sat with 4400 ft of climbing and 4 hrs in on Sunday with a 40 min. tempo. I am glad today is a rest day. Sat. I was able to do a high speed sprint on the new bike with the longer stem and it felt good. Kellie did a great job washing and waxing the trucks and I was able to get them both serviced. We where able to get a lot done and Shawn spent the weekend outside. This week will be a rest week with nothing major happening other than the team meeting tonight which will determine who I ride for. It is always nice to have your chain yanked especially when the season starts in 12 days. I hope for their sake Dave goes easy on the caffeine before the meeting or there could be a mess. Will see?!

A/B Honor roll - YES !!!

Friday Shawn got his report card and a ribbon for making the A/B honor roll. Needless to say momma and I are very proud and guess we will let him live another day. To be such a hand full he still continues to make us proud on a regular basis.
We enjoyed the weekend in Charleston. Kellie and Liza spent Saturday enjoying girl time and Dave and I had a very productive ride. Later that day he gave me a bike fit at the Trek store which brought to light a lot of suspicion I had about my set up and reveled the need for a longer stem. Sundays ride was a large group which included David Lee.....need I say more? It was not a constructive ride seeing as how I was third wheel behind DL in the pace line at 384 watts at one point. I was still able to get in a 30 min. tempo and ride sensibly. D Hall got to practice his tube changing technique this weekend as well , which resulted in the sacrifice of one Continental tire Sunday afternoon and the purchase of several tubes, levers and a tire. He should be set for the rest of the year now. In all we had a great time, got to put the smack down on some chunky monkeys, made it home safe and in time to see the Super Bowl.
