My work schedule over the last few months has made it incredibly difficult for me to keep up any sort of regular training schedule, and as a result I have spent embarrassingly small amounts of time on my bicycle. This makes me unhappy. I have had every intention of racing El Tour de Tucson again this year, but have finally had to concede that it simply can't happen right now. I could probably finish the race, yes, but it would be miserable. After enjoying El Tour so much last year, I just can't bear to think about doing it all by myself this year, not being trained for it, and getting a much slower time. 111 miles is a long way to be in pain.
I've gone out for a few decent bike rides over the last couple of weekends, and I plan to get in at least a couple of rides every weekend from here on out. I finally have every weekend available again, which will help a lot. I'm not planning on any other bike races in the near future, but I will definitely be trying to set some mileage goals for myself so that I can keep up my consistency. I miss my bike.
