The Battle Lines are being drawn...

After this weekend two important things will have happened...

1) My official 'off-season' training program will start (yeah, I found my bikes, that was a close one)
2) I will have attended a meeting that may be the begining of a whole new chapter in my bike racing story..

The battle lines are being drawn, the opposing forces are preparing their war plans, it's going to be an epic feud, with blood, sweat, and tears... I plan on being one of the last men standing (pedalling?)...

Check back in to see what transpired...

New scientific data accumulating devices

As the weather turns colder and daylight shorter, my heart begins to warm, knowing that the winter training season is about to begin.  Not doing cyclcross hasn't been as troubling as I thought, however I do get a bit nervous thinking about my fellow cycling competitors getting this added bike fitness.

My fears are about to subside, as after Jingle Cross Rock (t-day), the season shifts back to my domain.  In fact, I have just invested in some new training tools, as my cousin Kelly Addink hooked me up with some equipment from Vision Fitness.  I am planning on taking my scientific training apporach to a higher level of meticulous experimentation.  For example, I finally have access to my wattage/power statistics with my new upright bike, and am excited to experience how this will guide my training intitiaves and progressive workload strategies.

Hopefully everybody is enjoying a great cyclcrosss season... beware, however, I am hiding in wait... plotting a viscious spring assault.  Specifically, I will be targeting those who critique me for my 'weaknesses'.  Not going into detail there, but thanks for the motivation, as 'overcompensation' has become one of my favorite training themes.
