Cold start to 2013


I'm not going to lie, I'm starting to get a little tired of this cold weather block that's been going on for the last week or so. There was a Strava 500 kilometer challenge that went from Christmas eve to new years eve. Originally I wasn't going to try and do it as it fell on a week that I had planned as a recovery week, but I got sick a couple weeks before, so I adjusted my schedule and decided to go for it. It was definitely a challenge with all the snowy and icy weather, but I did it barely.

My training plan for this season seems like it's already in some kind of freestyle mode, but I seem to be getting all the training stress and volume in that I had planned so I guess I'll just keep going like this until the weather gets warmer and I can get back to some kind of structure. I'm still riding my Caad 10 primarily. I rode the CX bike a few times in the snow last week. Hopefully I'll be riding the new bike pretty soon. I'm basically just waiting on a crankset to swap out for the OEM crank that's on the bike. I'm not sure how much longer my current drive train and rear shifter are going to hold up. Both are pretty worn out.


A quick ice/snow ride at Bluff Creek on Christmas day

Lake Hefner mid last week

Last Friday I think. Whatever day it snowed. I had to switch out to the CX bike because it got too slick with road tires.
