after how crappy i felt on sunday and the rational move of skipping the race i felt a million miles from sunday on monday. yesterday was a great day on the bike. good blocks of work, solid focus almost like a real racing cyclist. it was pretty cold out and my throat still sounds a bit froggy. today will be more of the same, maybe a bit of resistance training with b in the burley. rolling along yesterday north of the comfort zone was made easier by my newest training tool...ipod! good sounds to do the work, followed by mellow stuff to warm down too. i got home cold and hungry and proceeded to eat my weight in fish tacos, delicious leftovers from sunday night. the paths were empty when i got out for my ride so it made the work that much easier to focus on. the bike feels great and not too far from good form for the engine either. little b is getting super close to walking, he's doing the bear crawl sometimes and then the crawl step other times. it's so cool to watch him start to learn a new skill. his focus is unflappable. good stuff.
