For about half those weeks, you take a day off a week, you're doing close to 4 hours a day? Is that right? If you take two days off, 5 hours a day?

Jeepers. I do maybe 3 weeks of training before my first race, based on your weekly schedule, if I don't get sick. One week if I do. I do 8-12 hours on a good week, 0-3 on a bad one, and for a week or two in CA 20-30+ hours. I'm delirious with fatigue if I work and try and ride an hour a day. 2 hours, forget it. And I usually take a day or two off each week, even on the high hour weeks.

I've seen you race so I figure this isn't intraweb fiction, but holy smokes, if that's what it takes...
