I am worked over

So this week of training has been pretty tough... REALLY TOUGH!

Monday, Ryan Kiel and I went out and logged about 40 miles, which wasn't too hard but I should have taken the day off or something not 40 miles.

Then Tuesday I worked myself over pretty hard on the intervals, not to mention on the way back I had a pretty strong head wind pushing through hail. SO I was gassed when I got back

Today, most definitely should have taken the day off, but I didn't, the sun was out and the snow was not ripping across the plains so Ren-Jay and I went out for a 45 mile ride. On the way back, he did tempo, and I just let him go. Which I think is a huge advancement in my maturity, the old Chris would have chased and ignored his bodily signals. So hats off to me. But it was bitter cold, the kind of cold that just flat out hurt, so when I got back, I crawled into bed and napped til 8 pm.

Well, I turned in my Belgium app, so wish me luck.

But I get to race this weekend, Depauw Road Race and Crit.... ready to destroy
