Real quick.

I am going to do the best I can to post in the next week, but things are getting increasingly busier. I’m moving a week from tomorrow, trying to revive my social life with my friends that always seems to get swept under the rug during the race season, working a lot, going to Moab as a vendor from Friday-Monday, and somehow packing my life into boxes to shuttle to another place to call my new rented place…for a little while anyway.

The only thing keeping me sane right now is riding and running. I got a good 6 mile trail run in yesterday along with 20 miles of bike commuting. Today was a better day. Aside from the commuting, I got to hit up Betasso and blow off some steam. I haven’t been able to ride up there in quite some time, so it was nice. My legs also felt really good – I guess they are coming back…so I pegged it on the ride, getting my HR up to 204 and holding it around 200 for about 20 min and then settling into what would be an XC pace. All I know is it felt good. Call me crazy, but I love to go hard and when I have a structured workout, I can’t go hard for as long as I want for obvious reasons. Must rest for races. Now I can thrash myself all I want… (within reason!)

It’s that time of year where I am racing the sunset and will soon be finishing my rides in the dark. The mountains and sun were posing just so for me today. I got some good photos. and yes, I am seemingly back to 100% although I am still having some minor sinuses…just like everyone else.

They are forecasting rain in Moab this weekend. I hope for all of our sakes, the skies keep it real.
