5/7 - 5/13/2012

So I have been off the radar for a couple of weeks. Last week I was in Washington D. C. for my sisters wedding and the week before I was preparing for that trip. I had an awesome time with my family and I am so happy for my sister! I didn't do much activity while I was gone but my team had a stellar weekend at wildflower so check them out.

This week I was trying to get things rolling again and it has been slow going. I feel pretty sluggish and low on energy but I was just trying to get the volume going again this week and will focus on quality next week.

On Saturday I did one of my favorite events of the year which is the Tour of California Appreciation Sufferfest. This is organized by Jeff Traugott who races with the Rock Lobster cyclocross team and is one of my dear friends. Huge long rides are my absolute favorite type of athletic endeavor so I had been looking forward to this one for a while.

I am starting to hone my training plans for the mid season events in a number of weeks and I am getting excited to start moving fast.
