Happenings

There was a short track race in Boulder this past weekend, but I didn't go. The weather was really crappy all weekend. It even snowed in the "foothills".

Tuesday I climbed Rist Canyon again. I broke my fastest time of 52:17. It's now 51:39. Not much faster, but I was pleased because my legs felt like crap. They still don't' feel well. I don't know what's going on. I hope they get better by Saturday though. When we got to the top of Rist Canyon, there was snow. It was really cold, especially coming back down. I'll put some pictures up later.

This weekend is Collegiate Mountain Bike Regionals in Gunnison, CO. I've been watching the weather, and they have had some snow already, so it should be interested. Sunday it's supposed to be a high of 44 or something crazy like that. Brrr!! The drive there should be fun though. I've never been in the mountains when there was a ton of snow. Check back next week for some photos!

I booked a train ticket to go back to Iowa for Thanksgiving. Looks like I'll be there in time to race the Middle Park Cyclocross race, as well as both days of Jingle Cross.

I'm throwing together a training plan/trying to find a coach. Definitely not focusing on cyclocross this year. I'm actually planning on taking a week or so off after this weekend. My legs need it. I've been racing since late February. I'm just going to do some cyclocross races as cross-training. That's the plan anyway. This being said, I don't know if going to Collegiate CX Nationals in December is a wise idea. Who knows though. It would be a good experience, but I definitely won't be on form. I think that's all I know as of now. Time to head back to class. I'll post some pictures later tonight (if I remember). Otherwise, look for a race re-cap towards the beginning of next week. Have a good one!
