Pluggin Away

It feels like it's been awhile since my last post. Not too much new going on is why I suppose. Work has been going good, busy lately, which never hurts. School started back up for me two weeks ago. I've finally decided to tackle the dreaded class I've put off for the last thirteen years, SPEECH!!! It's actually not that bad. The first night and the introduction speech was the worst so far, but once you start getting comfortable around your classmates I've found it's gotten easier. As far as the bike front, haven't raced since June 8th, Chula Vista GP. I was registered to race La Mirada and Green Trolley since then, but I went and sliced my finger open on the meat slicer at work which put a damper on the racing for a bit:) Needless to say, the finger is almost 100% now, and the next race on the calendar, July 12, Aliso Viejo GP, should be a go. I registered for the Masters 30+ 3/4 category which should prove to be tough for me being a Cat 4, but want to get faster, ride with faster riders, right? I've begun to focus my training less on being able to perform well in crits, and more on prepping for the upcoming road races on the calendar. I've decided those are what I prefer to do. Next season for me is going to include racing less, and focusing more on being ready for RR's, TT's, and some GP's. I'm going to race a crit every now and then, but only to fill in some blanks on my calendar. Until next time........
