New Year, New Goals

A new year and new racing season is here, and I'm looking forward to it. JR Petsko and the Appalachian Bicycle Racing Association has put together the busiest racing schedule yet in the Pittsburgh/Morgantown region, and there are some doozies in there.

The 2011 season didn't go as planned as I suffered and slogged thru every race, scratching and clawing my way to the finish line at times. I'm anticipating this new season to be different... better.  Last year I was trying some new and different stuff in the gym during the off-season. This year I'm going old-school, getting back my old, results producing, weight routine. I was also bogged down with some work projects that took a lot of time away from much need on-the-bike training. This year I expect to plan those work projects better and to be better and be more proactive at time management (I barely even touched this blog last year).

I'm still sorting out my training/racing schedule for this season, determining which races I'll be able to get to and which races suit me better. I have a few in mind that I want to do really well in, so those are in the cross-hairs for sure. Big thanks to the sponsors of my team for helping us reach our team goals, and a big thanks to the business listed on the right side of this page for helping and supporting me in my personal race goals. I hope to represent each and every one of you well this year! Thank you!
