Finally, some sun!

Wow, its been awhile since I have been here! Why is that?? Because I have been busy working, riding and racing my bike! Since last time I did a 50 mile mountain bike race in Hot Springs, Arkansas and last weekend had team training camp in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The mountain bike race was GREAT! My first big race of the season that I totally did not plan to do, but decided a week in advance to go for it! I got third in my age-group and 6th overall! The weather was fabulous, sun and warmth! I actually raced in shorts! Roger and I camped for two nights with the Bailey Dog! She was a great little camper, despite some late night barking...One of the nights was so cold, that Roger had to put her in his sleeping bag. She stayed in there the whole night and slept!

Team Training camp was GREAT! The weather was cold and drizzly, but it didn't keep up off the road! I ended up riding about 200 miles over Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Was able to get in some good base miles with a great group of people!

Stay tuned for some recovery nutrition tips that I put into practice over the training weekend. We did two rides a day and recovery was extremely important!

I will talk more about this later. I am seriously tired from the weekend, work, and daylight savings that I can barely keep my eyes open.
