It's almost official, the season is about wrapped up. With three races remaining on my schedule, I am leaning towards skipping each of them. Tired, slow, unresponsive; all adjectives that can describe how my legs feel while riding. Somehow I pulled off a 30 mile ride last night and ended with dead-leg. My body is tired after being on the bike since the middle of December, approximately 4,300 miles, and 29 races. I have to say throwing in the towel will not be all that bad - had great improvement and results in 2009 which more than quadrupels the results from 2008. Currently in the process of evaluating coaches for the 2010 season AND selling my 07 Madone 5.5. Should it sell, I will be replacing that racing machine with a Madone 6.9. Sweet!
The beginning of the end is only the beginning of the next season. Already looking forward to throwing it down in Cat 3's in 2010!
