This was another month that proved you have to roll with the punches. I had lots of training and racing plans for November. In the end, it was a pretty low volume month without any racing at all. But, that’s fine. I was super careful about my achillies and kept Saturday’s race at the front of my mind. And, from where I’m sitting right now at least, it looks like it worked.
The one thing I am a little disappointed about is that I didn’t get outside on the bike a single time. I did spend some time on the trainer, but not riding outside was just laziness. I definitely could have. That will hopefully be different in December.
It was a good month outside of training. We had a few friends come visit us in LA and are finishing up a nice, relaxing week in Wainscott.
I got on the scale today and between the month of light training and the last week of somewhat heavy eating, I’m heavier than I want to be coming into the race. Again, whatever. I guess.
I can’t believe 2009 is just about over. I am happy that my 2009 race season almost is! Get through this week. Race on Saturday and then start thinking about 2010!
