It has been very intense summer. I really stepped up my road riding and my latest ride was 103km.
I did the Medio Valley Fondo in July. It was the most fun I had in a long time, the competitive bug really bit me hard. I did the 89km in 3:09 and placed seventh in my category. I’m already plotting a training schedule for next year, I want to be in the top 3, shaving my time to 2:45. It is very ambitious goal, I know that of course, but with improving my speed on the hill sections it can be dome.
I will have some serious training under my belt, because me and J are riding the New York Grand Fondo in May. That’s a present to myself for my 40th birthday and our tenth wedding anniversary 😉
Last couple weeks were emotionally hard with Sara battling some “pruning brain demons” and I must say I need time off, time to recharge. The days are getting shorter and I’m starting to fear the darkness again. I will try to train hard and keep my body happy that way, but I know that sickness and very dark days will take its toll. But after all, I survived last winter, so why not this one? 😉
