It was cold this week so I didn't get any afternoon rides done outside. I am starting to get over being sick but tired of riding inside. On Saturday I got in 115 miles or just a little over 5 hours on the trainer. My legs actually felt much better than when I did 120 miles back in November.
This upcoming weekend is the first race of the season at the Texas Chainring Massacre. I don't really have any big expectations for the race since it is so early. I know that it will be fast, so hopefully just hang on as long as I can. The first weekend of February I am at the Oklahoma Gravel Growler. Racing back to back weekends will be tough but should get my fitness ready for some good training this spring.
I didn't make it into the lottery for Dirty Kanza this year. Definitely disappointed since I made the podium in the 50-54 age group in 2018. I have a few folks working on trying to get me into the race. Hopefully I will here something out soon.
I am trying to finalize the race in Iceland in July. Looks like it is going to happen! I am very excited to get a chance to go back there. It is a beautiful country but it is going to be a hard race.
As I look back at this time last year, I am thankful for all the support I have today. It has been a really hard last 12 months but I have some amazing friends!
