Karl, come here so I can smack you! Its cold and getting ready to snow here. Quit stressing about it and enjoy yourself. It will all work out, you will do well in your races. Go and have a margarita for me and smile.Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794476765786188553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983704967678592814.post-66949643801650195302010-02-17T13:28:57.999-07:002010-02-17T13:28:57.999-07:00To put in the words of someone very wise that post...To put in the words of someone very wise that posted this comment on my blog....oh that would be you.<br /><br />"Remember racing is a good motivator to set personal goals and measures.

Eve...I think most of us underestimate our fitness. Even when we're fast, we think we're slow because there are faster people all around us. You were flying in October, and I bet you'll be surprised how much fitness you've retained. You may not be quite at the level you're used to, but I bet you do better than you expect. If it makes you feel any better, I've been south exactly zero times this winter, and have logged exactly zero hours on my trainer. I'm hoping that backcountry and XC skiing translate nicely to biking.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622082658232225351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983704967678592814.post-59616405219034441392010-02-16T22:40:47.864-07:002010-02-16T22:40:47.864-07:00Just do it, i haven't been able to ride as muc...Just do it, i haven't been able to ride as much as I would like, only 1 trip south this year, as apposed to normal 5 or 6. Plus I will be in the Philippines for a week from the 20th-27th, that should be great for my placing.<br /><br />Just do it, I plan on riding 4 hours on friday before too. Just cause, I wanna see how low my expectations can go....StupidBikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994994198022740179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983704967678592814.post-17146540411880363812010-02-16T21:07:49.135-07:002010-02-16T21:07:49.135-07:00Here's an option I exercised last year: go dow...Here's an option I exercised last year: go down but go for a ride instead of racing. Bear Claw Poppy, Zen and more trails are nearby. After socializing with the team, just take off for a nice ride.<br /><br />You could also do a mellow pre-ride of the course before the race.<br /><br />The race provides a good excuse to go down for a ride.<br /><br />If I'm down there I won't be racing and would be glad to join you for a ride.KanyonKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954169751206336705noreply@blogger.com
