No this title does not refer to my fitness or cycling results in any way!! It actually is refering to the other sport im doing now. Yea im now running track. It actually started as a fun thing to do with my friends and i had absolutly no expectations what so ever. Well it turns out im not bad at the mile. I ran a 4:34 mile this past weekend. It is the third best time in the state for my school's classification. I actually got a chance to win state as well so my plans have shifted a little and ima give state a shot. What does this mean for bike racing? Well it actually means ill be training more. You see my training for track consists of running around 2 times a week and doing just speed work on the track, then just getting fit on the bike and carrying that fitness to the running. So it works great. I still am training full on the bike, only its kind of a mental shift in motivation which i think works great.
Oh yea so after i ran that 4:34 mile i went and raced the chatt. crit. My legs were dead so i wasnt much use to my teammate carp, who was riding strong as heck! Well we missed the break, and i mixed it up for the field sprint and ended up 10th overall. The road race the next day we missed the early break. I really felt terrible the first 2 laps, but luckly Carp was doing a ton of work and the last and final lap my legs came around and i attacked like crazy and brought the break to 15 seconds, but no one really wanted to work, oh well thats bike racing, i was just glad i felt good at the end of the race. No doubt that i'll be in good cycling shape for the big races this summer.
thats all for now
