Jet plane… but first some pain:

So, leave for Cancun early tomorrow morning. 5 days off the bike, and well earned. Sure I’ll swim and paddle and play ping pong and walk a bit, but no structured training at all.

But like I said, I earned it with a huge BASE 3b finalized with VO2max work on sat, 4.5 hours sunday, LT tuesday, VO2 again wednesday (nice work, to Shane by the way!) and some nice tempo fun today out on the beer loop for a solid and stressful block. LT is as high now as it was for last years peak which is crazy considering the stress I’m carrying. Cant wait to start racing and see where the legs are really at! Power numbers are fun, but they mean jack when it comes to the reallness of racing.

That said, I’m tremendously excited and proud to be part of this team. Thanks to EVERYONE for doing way more work than I did. I really appreciate it and hope that I can continue to contribute to the team’s success in any way possible.
The kits give me too much excitement and riding with ya’ll has been sweet. Once the weather really changes over, it’ll only get better!

OK, have a great week everyone and I’ll see ya’ll next weekend!!
