Nothing Good
Nothing good to say about yesterday. I went to Putney hoping to have a good race at a small regional A race. Instead, I "raced" for 25 minutes, rode to the car and was on the highway heading north before the winner finished his race. Not sure what my deal is: overtraining, undertraining, undermotivated, overmotivated, cracked, or simply not cut out to be a bike racer?!?! At this point, I am not sure.

Aaw, chin up! Everything works in cycles, and down times will lead to up times. Take the pressure off yourself and just enjoy. :)
Live the world according to YOU for awhile.
(I know, easy advice for me to give, but not take!)
Hey Manville, thanks for clarifying my “problem” for me.
Here’s the deal, I don’t really care what people think or laugh about. I race my bike for me, not others. Will I ever be a pro? Not likely. Will I ever be competitive in Elite cross races or P12 road races- who knows, maybe. Regardless, I am just trying to challenge myself everyday. Yah, I could go back to the Killer Bs and have better results than I am having this season inthe A’s, but that is not what interests me. I don’t talk trash about my fellow racers or teammates. I simply ride: some days faster than others.
If you or anyone else feels there is some “so-pro” attitude, I am sorry. I am not sure why people think that. My attitude hasn’t changed from when I was racing in the B race. I am just trying to represent my squad and race my bike fast. (I always wear booties when I can, I think they look hot.)
My blog is intended to be fun. You are harshing on the fun.
