Today I start my off season.
I didn't race a lot this season...yet it was my best ever (go figure). My strength, power, speed, wattage, and Nationals results were all better. I even figured out and conquered this mental choking thing that had plagued me all of the previous season. I'm happy. I feel a sense of accomplishment.
I also picked up my first one of these last week at Masters Nationals:
(I'm trying to catch up with TT. He's got more than me.)
I'm taking 2 weeks off up to a month off of the bikes and gonna just chill. Maybe I'll start selling all of this extra gear that's been piling up.
