Been a while, things are good

July 29, 2010

I am usually pretty on the ball with getting a weekly blog, but sometimes the summer just flies by! Nationals went pretty well despite hitting my head pretty hard in CO Springs the weekend before, which really sucked after having won the Time Trial and feeling amazing. I was really just happy to have been able to start the race since I had been feeling pretty crappy the week with headaches and dizziness. There is no shame in taking the silver medal behind a first class guy like Geoff Kabush. I pretty much have a guaranteed place for World Championships so that's great news. I can definitely guarantee that I will win the maple leaf jersey one of these years.

I took 8 days off the bike after nationals, and made some time for some summer time fun. My mom was over in Canada for a funeral so she got to come hang out for 5 days, we had a great time. We had some really good surfing, camping and hiking and was able to see some good buddies up in my hometown of Tofino. For me it is important to take some time off mid-season, I think. It is hard giving er from March to October without a break, even if you don't feel like you need one.

Of course the first few days are tough on the bike, but tough in a good way. My head feels great and can't wait to race again. Next up the TransRockies 3, then possibly the Canada Cup finals before building up for the big final push of World Cup finals, and then the biggie Worlds. Seems far away right now, but it's really not.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer! I know I am.
