Getting ready

Well March is almost here and that means its time to go to Denmark. I've spent a good chunk of the day packing. I am sure I am forgetting stuff, but whatever, I can always get it there right? I am nervous and excited about this season. From my limited in experience of racing in Europe, it looks like all of the races over there are freaking hard but I think spending the whole season there will teach me a bunch of tricks about racing and pack skills.

The off season has been pretty good to me. I haven't really gotten sick and I only had a minor injury with my heel that only kept me from training for a few weeks. I've definitely been training way more than I ever have and so I feel way better at the end of longer rides. Its still strange to me that I am not remotely cracked after 5 hours of riding.

I felt pretty good at Snelling and I finished 11th in the field sprint even though I attacked way too much, so I guess its looking like a good year. I promise to update this thing quite often from now on, although we'll see how that goes....
