Week #6 January was a big month!!

 

Week #6 - 405 miles

January - 2002 miles

Even though it was cold on many days, we did have a few warm days in January. It is nice now that I can get out and get those long miles in on any day of the week. I didn't think I would be able to get in over 2,000 miles for the month but luckily it happened. Not having hardly any snow on the ground made a world of difference. The roads and trails were good to go every day and all I had to deal with was the wind and cold temperatures. Comparing last year, I was struggling to get those long days in the saddle. Hopefully this will make a big difference when Iowa Wind and Rock happens in April. It helps so much to have the confidence of those big miles under you when the race is so long. Also it will give me a great base come July which is still worries me a bit. It is going to to be a lot of back to back long days!
