Pain Cave
Today I went deep, old school Research Park intervals in the snow and a few hot laps at the park we are not allowed to have cross practice at. Back in the day when the weekly world cup was at the International Center and on Thursday, Research Park was the place to be on Tuesdays. I used to do intervals there on my MTB before I even owned a road bike. Steve Johnson, Scott Lung, Andy Brewer and all the other big guns of that era would be there putting out the watts. I previouslly had never imagined I could hurt myself so bad on purpose, yet there was a component of joy there as well. I have vivid memories of riding so hard I would boot and lay in the median comatose. Good times for sure. Hard to believe this is my 18th season racing my bike. Smiling for sure.
Stoked to race at RMR this weekend. I am sure DrX has put together a sweet course. A week of antibiotics has not done much for my fitness but I felt good today should be able to put out some watts on Saturday. Word is KK has a sweet Ridley that has so far not seen any race action this year. Maybe this weekend?
