Hello,
I haven't been the at all good about keeping up to date on this (or any other) blog for well on 2 years now. However, it still exists and I find that I have things to share so I'm back at it.
The 2013 season of bicycle racing has been up and running since early March for me. I began my season of racing by traveling to Tucson, AZ for a weekend to participate in the first National Criterium Calendar (NCC) race of the season. It was a bit of baptism by fire for my legs and lungs against the fastest men on two wheels in the country but I hung tough and finished in the top half (41st out of 120 starters).
Back home in Denver, life goes on with 30 hours of work and 5 classes at Metro State University, leaving limited daylight hours for the truly fun part of life, riding bikes. With limited time in mind and a continued desire to have successes in the very competitive Colorado racing scene I finally added some technology to my riding. I now have a Garmin 500 which is tracking both HeartRate and Power output as well as the routes of rides and races through GPS. I have also added structured coaching into my training and racing through Cycles Consulting ( https://sites.google.com/site/cyclesconsulting/ ).
