Well, I still have some fitness left from racing cross, so *want* to start racing now. However, I know I won't be able to recover well from the visits to the pain cave... And it's not like there's any racing for us in the frozen North East for a while...

I'm just getting my diet back in order and finishing up on my early season workouts (mainly to improve my body's ability to recover.) I still have some weights to lift in the next couple of months (for hypertrophy and strength.) The intensity work will begin when I do my first race of the season at the end of March. All this so I can have my first peak at the end of June/early July...

Damn this bike racing and it's impact on on EVERYTHING I do... Does anyone else miss riding 'just for fun'?
