I'm so frustrated I could scream. I just am not motivated to race this spring, except for the track, and I can't seem to make it there. I was going to do the Capital Crit this morning, but I chose not to so that my beautiful wife could do a the Walk for Scleroderma, a benefit walk for a horrible disease that she's committed to every year. Yes, I could have ridden the Open Men 4/5 at 12:30. But the truth is I don't want to.
I really haven't been able to build up like I did last year. Sickness, vacation, conflicts, etc. All excuses, I know. Then I missed two early season road races (Durand and Avon) due to illness. My Opus performances were below where I thought I would be, given that my training sessions are showing I'm stronger than last year at this time. And I'm still bummed on the lack of the 10,000 Lake stage race.
I'm sure I'll get it together. It's just REALLY challenging at the moment. I rode the track yesterday to get my "track legs" back. After a few laps, the banking was feeling comfortable again. Can't wait to get up there to race. This week is:
Alex's Graduation
Aaron's end of year school party
Deana's parents coming into town
Alex's Graduation party
Alex's orientation to St. Kate's, including parents.
Track racing is definitely in danger, but I'm working it.
Ok, I'm done whining. Off to get some miles in and pound out the intervals tomorrow morning.
I'm ready, damn it!
