I had inked-in the st. valentine's massacre on my schedule for this sunday, but after registering on sunday night, i received an e-mail three days later. it said, "i'm sorry, but due to a problem with our registration system, you were able to register for an even that was already full. your fee has been refunded. sorry for the inconvenience."
now, instead of getting up at 6:30am and driving 70 miles to race a relatively local event in brea on sunday, i'll be leaving at 3am and carpooling almost 200 miles to race in imperial valley on saturday.
bogus. but i've never been there. maybe there's a good burger joint and it'll all pay off.
but hey, good news...
the training thing has been going nicely this week. after a couple of high intesity climbing rides on monday and tuesday, i decided to head out on a moderately paced cruise up the coast to dana point just to clear the head and revitalize a little.
despite being a little on the cool side, one can never overestimate the value of a good "fun" ride just to remind yourself that this sport isn't always about burning lungs and legs. and while i'm actually a little sore today, i feel much better for it.
on another training-related note, i've also managed to lose close to 10lbs since mid-december. i'm 167 now. i don't know if this is good, bad, or what, i'm definitely not generating the power i was 6 months ago when i was closer to 180. let's see how that pans out over the next couple of months as the schedule intensifies a little and the races become more and more important.
