I have some sort of of massive desire to race. They cancelled the races in Augusta because of the Hurricane, but she bypassed us altogether. I want to race, I want to feel that competitive animal. It's been a month since I last felt like that. I didn't have that feeling at the State RR, I just wanted to hit the line and stop. I did have that feeling in Elberton, which I did not blog about. It was a 60 miler in near 100* weather, 2 man break stuck, I launched with 800m and overcooked the last corner, cyclocrossed through the grass, and finished 11th. So I missed my first podium and my first upgrade points. I had the pit bull feeling that day and I liked it, I want to feel it again! I'd be up for a Du, a Tri, or a 5k if it started in the next hour.
In other news, I am sick. I have a head cold and a running nose. I didn't train today because of it.
Yesterday sucked hard, it was 95* and I couldn't sweat. I was probably dehydrated.
The season is so close to being over. I'm sad and happy. The next thing I do will be the Training Camp at the OTC, it's 2 weeks away. Then I have the state Time Trial, and I'm considering the G'Ville Crits. I don't know if I want to do them or not. Then it's over. I'll go into base mode. I'll have a somewhat more normal life, but I still intend to ride. I didn't ride for 5 months last offseason and it cost me a lot. I want to hit the Spring Series rolling, and I want to be white hot by the time Athens rolls around.
