A lot has happened since my last post. Yah, I know. My last post was a long time ago, so grab a coffee and a chair and start reading.
My cycling season ended in mid August after races in Canada, North Carolina, Vermont, and Colorado. I was a bit burnt out and over trained by the end of the season; isn’t hind sight 20/20.
A week after the season ended, I took a cruise with my family in the Baltic. We all had a great time, and it was nice to be back in Europe without having to lug a bike and luggage around. We visited some really neat places like Russia, and Estonia. I ate too much, drank too much, and by the end of the week was really itching to be back on my bike.
Some time in July, I convinced Michael that we needed to sign up for La Ruta de los Conquistadores (www.adventurerace.com). This was a 4 day stage race across Costa Rica and I was really excited about it. I was ready to get back on the bike and start training big time for the race which was in November.
