And so it begins…

I’m now roughly 1 month out from the Ultramidwest 6 Hour Road Race.  This is the race I’ve been training for all season. Time to start peaking for the race.

And so it begins...

The road rash and hematoma from the crash are pretty well healed, although I’ll probably have a bit of a scar…

30 mile even paced easy ride this morning, now off for a few days for vacation. I’ll be blogging training and nutrition as frequently as possible leading up to the race.
