After an almost 2 month racing hiatus (French Broad Stage Race to the Chimney Rock hill climb last weekend), I'm back in the thick of training - this time for 'cross season! The first race is on Wednesday in Hendersonville (check out the flyer here: http://www.abrc.net/documents/wedcx2009.pdf).
I've been doing a few things to get ready for the season:
1. I took a 2 week break after the FBCC to let my body and mind recover before hitting the training hard again.
2. Started a build period in August which basically took me back to March-May's training. This had me doing threshold/sweet spot work last month, VO2 work this month, and next month will be racing and cross-specific workouts during the week.
3. Preparing my equipment. I just picked up some tubular tires this week that I finished gluing on to my Industry 9 Super Ego wheels. This will take my bike to a whole new level. The question is now: will my fitness match my bike? You can bet I'll be working on it!
