I FINALLY CELEBRATED BOXING DAY
I LOVE BOXING DAY CELEBRATIONS. Especially the kind where I don't have much to donate, but receive all kinds of gifts...
... like punches in the gut.
Today was exceptional, finally dry and beautiful after what seemed like a month of straight rain.
LoveWatts and I rode over to let the Lords of Winter Fitness enjoy their reign by raining down...
... attack after attack.
I'm not even sure they were trying all that hard, such is our state of readiness after wet and cold weather, travel, work, holidays and some wisely backed down months.
Officially, it is exactly 10 weeks until Cactus Cup, where I've sworn to snatch a PR on the long course...
... age be damned.
It
is
time.
What's an interval loathing, powermeter hating, crusty old diesel gonna do?
Obviously, take the 10-Week Challenge in earnest.
Less obviously, use and be abused at the local group rides...
... building my fitness one week at a time.
When will I stop the RaceDay Ready strength circuits? Tapering off of them 2 weeks out.
It's a lot like pulling back an arrow.
The string maybe sloppy and lax now, but it will get tighter and tighter...
... until I let it fly.
That's my plan.
What's yours?
