Yeah, I'd rather not become an angry depressed basket case that starts losing power on the bike.

I think I still have a few areas I could improve eating. Biggest disappointment is that outside of maybe enabling better workouts and power, my zero alcohol for 180 out of 365 calendar days schedule has yielded zero weight improvement. Despite that probably being easily 500 to 1000 calories less per week.

I do eat better on the bike now for workouts and long rides. I used to be bad about that. That's improved those rides and training effect. Maybe that's just the "cost of entry" and I need to just maintain instead of try to lose.

There's a hill climb TT in summer I may want to try. My team said I'd be a great candidate as I'm still a 4/5 and my advantage (locally at least) is that I can destroy folks in my race class on anything that goes uphill more than 4% grade for longer than 2 minutes. Which does no good in races here since there's only one or two road races, and they're flat or rolling.

A little harder to take a wrong turn on a hill climb TT that's point to point on the same road! Ha ha ha! Laugh at my own fail. So sad.
