Finally Training

Well I finally get to update on my injury.

I went to my Dr for another follow up. He finally told me what i have wanted to hear for the last 5 months. I can ride my bike! The first 3 rides hurt! I guess it was due to the fact that my butt is not used to the saddle. I wanted to test myself and see where I stood against all the studs in the N Texas area. I jumped in the A race at the local crit last tuesday. These guys either have gotten faster or I just felt the speed (out of shape) They avg 27 for a little under 60min. I stayed in the entire race and was able to be part of the race not just be in the race, which was great! They had a break of about 5 with 4 to go and nobody really wanted to chase. Well since I was out there to get a quick test and not race I went to the front and gave it my last hard effort and brought the break back. My buddy Austin wasn't to happy but hey this is training. I pulled out of it with 1 lap and a half to go. Forturnately I was not part of the crash that happened on the sprint for like 10 place.

I can't wait to get some sort of fitness back but I have to be happy to be able to get out and ride for now. I'm 5 months down on everyone and I can't make excuses I'm a cat 1 so I have to suck it up.

Until the next lesson
