New Wheels

I am still working out the details but I will be racing on Blackwell Research wheels this year and I am very excited about this. Have not nailed down the front yet (shooting for the 100, but we'll see), and a rear disk should work out nicely.

This will be my first set of tubular wheels, so that will be interesting to say the least. Will post photos as soon as I have the wheels.

On a side note the running is coming along well and I have had no issues with the stress fracture. I got in a good hour trail run today with two friends that involved a lot of mud, water, and slipping, all in all good times.

Long Day

I got my first long training day in today. Woke up this morning and met up with a friend, and we headed out for a 25 mile race pace ride. It felt good to get out early and push into the headwinds for a bit.

After lunch we headed back out for another ride, this time a solid 55 miles of hills followed by a tempo run on the trails in the bio.

All in all a solid day.

More to come later as I get everything on here set up.

Happy training.
