After a hard week of racing in British Columbia getting back home was actually refreshing. I’ve been getting lots of sleep and resting to try and to get healthy again, hopefully I’ll have the engine firing on all 4 cylinders for Nationals, which will take place this Saturday July 18th.

As part of my recovery I spent some time at the beach, this past weekend, I packed a bag with some surf shorts and sun tan lotion and hit the road, don’t worry along with my surf shorts was my Specialized Tarmac SL3. After a bodysurfing session I had a snack, and headed out for some road riding along the coast, you would think it is all-flat, but it is not, about 2000ft was the elevation gain on my 2 hour ride.

Well all that is left is the big race this weekend for our Costa Rica National XCO Championships, I will be pre-riding the course tomorrow, and the race is set to take place this Saturday, more details to come next week. Wish me good luck!
