Training

I was going through my notes and since November 1st I have 113 hours either on the trainer or doing the spinning classes. Multiplied by a 15 mile average that's almost 1700 miles. That's a lot of indoor hours doing intervals, tempo rides and hills.
Tonight I rode for 1:58 and got caught in the rain. Parked at Ridge and the Parkway and rode past Bagley and back. Caught up with my friend Rick and rode together for a while. One thing for sure, I need a better or a more powerful light. The light I have is good but I need more light when I'm riding the bike path. It gets really dark out there when it's cloudy and raining. Tomorrow it'll be another 4:06 am day hitting the trainer and plyometrics. I've been going to the gym only twice a week trying to put in more hours on the trainer.
I'm going to have to go to the doctor again soon. My back just doesn't want to get better and I'm always in pain. Still, I'm happy that it doesn't hurt when I ride. Do I really want to find out what I have, of course. Do I want to go back to the doctor so they can send me to a specialist, not really. Because I know they'll probably tell me I need to slow down and that's a problem. My fitness it's better than last year at this time and I don't want to loose it. I still have a ways to go to where I want to be for my first mountain bike race and I don't want to stop now.
next month I'll be going down to Mid-Ohio race track for a bike race. This is a really neat race, you get to race around the race track without having to worry about anything. It was re-paved a couple of years ago and it's always a fast race. That's all for now, I'll post my race schedule as soon as I decide what I'm doing.
