That’s likely the longest drought in the history of my website. I apologize to those of you who stop by regularly. It hasn’t been a lack of interesting things that’s kept me from writing lately, rather too many of them all happening at once. So far this year I’ve moved into new apartment, bought some furniture, acquired some roommate, began training with earnest, and met Tom Danielson. Of course I’ve been logging the coaching hours as well as a couple over at Arizona Cyclist.
The rides have been going off without a hitch and I’m excited for what’s to come in 2007. Starting a new season with another year of experience and fitness can only lead to good things and progress is already being made. Jason Tullous, a friend and CTS co-worker, is taking my mind off of my own workouts and planning things out for me. I’m already realizing the benefits of his objective opinion. Even a coach can use a coach…
Most of my rides have been 4-5 hours and include about an hour of interval work. This coupled with ample amounts of rest and off in the right direction.
Sunday I was fortunate to join Chloe at a cycling related dinner party hosted by some local sponsors here in Tucson. There were some familiar faces, but most were new to me, so I met a lot of folks. Meeting Tom and Kristen Danielson was pretty cool. Tom’s preparing for big things at the Tour of California and Kristen is building a base for NORBA series to come. It’s not everyday you meet such people, especially due to such a random occasion. They are enjoying the Tucson weather as Durango has seen some harsh winter conditions recently. Cool people enjoying life via the bike – Awesome.
This weekend will mark my return to the infamous Shootout ride. It’s been a couple months, so chances are I’ll have something blog worthy. Check back in for to come. Enjoy! -TJ
