Week off…
It’s time for a week off. Normally I would continue on with what’s left of my training and planned to race the cross race Saturday. Fortunately for how I’m feeling I am out of town without a bike. Back in May I scheduled myself to be at the Olympic Training Center for the USA Cycling Coaching Summit. It couldn’t have fallen at a better time on the schedule. Racing cyclocross is super fun. I’ve taken the approach of cyclocross this year and last as a good way to entertain myself on the bike without a lot of pressure so that I don’t totally freak out that I’m not on a bike and not training. Fun stuff.
I’m excited to see Rico and Crispy lighting things up out on the cyclocross bikes. I’m disappointed to miss this weekend to watch them tear it up. Crispy is all excited about Crosstoberfest in Sun Valley in a few weeks. I’m sure Rico will be making the trip as well. Sounds tempting, but it’s just a bit too much time out of town for me and I’d feel like I actually needed to warm up for a cross race if I traveled that far.
Tip of the week: make sure it’s under 40F if you are going to use Qoleum Extra Hot Embrocation and don’t do yoga later in the afternoon.
