still trying to recover from last weeks adventure...
and it looks like CYCLING NEWS has updates in the mountian bike world posted. check out the write up on 24 hours nats and the wilderness 101. great ride shout out to harlan who just about sealed up the ultra series by winning the 101. he just needs to finish the virginia race and that's it. great job.
also - WOBBLENAUGHT has a write up on 24 hour nationals posted. is it by chance that 3 out of the top 5 riders at the race were "wobblenaughted"? hmm.. i think not.
also got a shout out about how many 29ers were at nationals - honestly, i would have to say that i notice more of the top guys riding the 29ers percentage wise, but for single speeds - jeez, i would have to say the majority (if not most of them) were riding 29ers. i've said it before and i'll say it again - if you are going single speed, 29ers make so much sense as they carry the speed so much better.
so the ultra series is wrapping up, end of the enduro season is in the headlights and cross season is coming up fast.
time to rethink, schedule, plan.
before i started racing seriously, i never planned anything out. i rode hard this day, even harder the next and went with how i was feeling today and didn't think about tomorrow.
you want to race enduro? gots to plan it all out.
so, i have just spent the last approximate 30 minutes disucssing race plans and training schedules through october with Jim Baldesare who has been my coach since day 1 and who is also a WOBBLENAUGHT fit guru. diet, training, resting, racing were all topics of today. i felt a need to get refocused on the rest of the year, so he's always the first guy i turn to.
so we made some slight adjustments, refocused and i think i am mentally set for the rest of the year. and now, as my father says, "all you have to do is ride the bike"...
speaking of which, watch out for a blog entry of race quotes from my father. i guess he has come up with some good ones when i was out on the race course, so i am coming up with a list... stay tuned to laugh your wheels off.
with that, gots to run.
stay calm, breathe deep, focus, think happy thoughts. and race your brains out.
sologoat out.
