At this point last year it was unheard of for me to start a ride in the rain. Even at team camp with LiveSTRONG when we got caught in a rain storm, some of the guys would head out early to get there ride out of the way. I would rather ride alone after everything cleared up. Today I rolled in the rain for 3.5 hours at a Avg. watts of around 211. Which for me living in the city is smashing. There was never a point were I didn't want to be on my bike or I would rather be doing something else. I was 100% focused on being the best at whatever it is I can be the best at. I was determine to silence the haters. Today was a huge step for me I felt like nothing could stop me. Between the stress of my family and looking for a job that will best develops me for next year riding has bin so tough. I have a few Six day events coming up so I'm putting some endurance miles in to be prepared to roll a 88 inch gear for a couple hundred lap's each night. So it's needed, I also just got the call from a long time friend (more like an uncle) to do 70k circuit race in Mexico City which I'm pretty excited for since the last time I got to take a random get up and go trip was back in my Rock Racing days. Im not in the greatest form but I'm always good for flat fast races so off I go. I have to talk the team about were I'm going but I'm hoping It'll be a chapter in the memory book. So stay tuned maybe ill get another check in the win column before 2010 is over.
