I've been a competitive cyclist for a long time. But lately . . . I've begun to realize that my days of racing with the young folks are numbered. And I'm old enough that most races don't include Masters classes that fit my age group. I've also begun to realize that, if I back off of my habitual / obsessive training regimen, I will have a lot more time for life. No injury issues. Maybe I'm growing up. I'm thinking of cutting up to 50% of my training miles for 2019. Should be easy, right? Problem is . . . you don't ride 8,000 to 10,000 miles a year without being at least a little obsessive. (Yes, there are people who ride a lot more. That's a LOT obsessive.) It's going to be hard psychologically to cut that many miles / hours. Has anyone else gone through this transition? How did you handle it psychologically? Do you have suggestions that will make the lifestyle change / transition easier to handle -- and more likely to be successful?
