The long long winter

Since the end of the 2008 racing season I took up guitar lessons again, read a bunch of books, took my oral boards in San Antonio, TX, refinished our front room, took the girls and Bre on a crazy trip to Disneyland, and continued to work. I have also begun training. After about 8-10 weeks in the gym lifting I went entirely to the bike (even though I was never totally off it for very long). I've got about 2400 miles on the bike so far and am just ending my 2nd build/recovery cycle. The first races are 3 stage races, Southern Nevada Stage Race at the end of Feb., the Tour delSol at the end of March, and the Tour of the Depot middle of April. Can't wait.
