Starting back up again!

So here we are in March 2012 and I haven't posted on my blog in almost a year. I just plain forgot about this. I forgot that blogging is what hip people with iPads do. I forgot that when I blog for a few fleeting moments, I become the most interesting person on my small corner of the internet. I forgot that when I blog and start writing verbose, complex, philosophical statements I can make my life seem like a constant and epic adventure. Anyway, back to it. I had a great racing season last year. I raced one race, the North Boulder Park criterium, and was lapped and pulled from the race after just 10 minutes of racing. I didn't train at all last year. I spent my summer shooting airsoft guns, playing at Lake Powell, hiking in the mountains, and just plain lazing about. Why then would I consider last race season great? Because I spent the weekends riding my motorcycle in bike races and loving every minute of it. Becoming a dynamic part of a bike race in a capacity other than a bike racer is both interesting and supremely enjoyable.

I am working several races again this season, but whereas last year I focused on working as many races as possible as a referee, this year I am planning on working only road races, where as a racer I don't do that well. I am planning on racing as many Sunday criterium as I can. That said, I still haven't done any real training this year so far. I'm still somewhat optimistic, or possibly just delusional, but I have the whole season ahead of me so, I guess I will just see where my motivation and subsequently, my training takes me.

Well, that's all for now folks, until next time.

Cheers,

MC
