We are not joggers. That is Pearl Izumi’s ad campaign for their running gear. Tonight I have decided that I am not a jogger….or a runner or anything of the sort. I have decided that at this point in time, I am dropping the half marathon training plan for now. The main reason….simple, there is WAY too much good biking to be done. I have a cyclocross race tomorrow and I haven’t ridden a bike in quite some time because I have been busy running. Not that there is anything wrong with running, but for me, my major concentration is biking. I started running for the sole purpose to train for an adventure race that is March 1st. I have plenty of time once the bike off season come to start to train for that. So for now, I am putting the running shoes down and picking back up the cycling shoes. This is the best time of the year, in my opinion, for mountain biking. It is much cooler, the sweat isn’t pouring off of me the entire time, and now I can do a 2 hour night ride and still be home by 7:30pm. How great is that?!?!
Tomorrow is my the first Cyclocross race of the series and I am ready to go. After some major issues building my bike last night, broken rear dérailleur, but now things are all built and ready to go. I am ready for the race. Hopefully my lack of training won’t be an issue.
