Well I’m in the process of hitting the reset button. Jersey didn’t go exactly to plan. Saturday was going well moving up towards the front by the mid-way point. Got into the group for 5th and then it was lights out for me out of nowhere. I went from feeling great and looking towards the next guy I could catch to pedaling squares. I’ve never had my energy levels disappear so quickly. I ended up 13th on the day.
On to sunday I went into the racing thinking maybe my legs will come around but that wasn’t the case. I just went out and pedaled squares for about 40 minutes and then pulled the plug. After the race it was a rush to newark, NJ to drop off our mechanic for the weekend TJ Grove. TJ has been great this cross season helping out brady and I along with the development team. After we dropped TJ off it was time to find the airport hotel. Unless you are on the millionaire program and stay @ the marriott right @ the airport this can be a difficult task. Brady and I had to do a nice lap in the ghetto trying to find the round about way to the hotel. Of course we ended up missing the entrance on attempt one so it was lap two in the ghetto. I could have picked up a nice set of rims for the rental car. At one point brady asked me if the doors were locked and i replied with it is a rental car how should i know.
So since I got home on monday I’ve basically just been in bed fighting whatever this fatigue I seems to have a long with a headache. I finally went to the doctors on wednesday and got put on some antibiotics. I rode yesterday for a super easy hour and plan to do the same today. Other then that maybe this is the rest I need to get my fitness back on track for the last 3 weeks of the domestic season. With only Jingle Cross, Portland, and Bend left it isn’t the worst time to recover before the one last surge towards nationals.
Here is a video of this A.D.D. bmx rider that talks half the time but his riding is insane. His shit talking is entertaining also.
Also Dylan put together a good blog on my cross season so far: Clif Bar Blog
