#329: climbing out of a hole
A training hole that is… I really haven’t been riding as much as I did last year at this time. (To put it in WKO+ terms, my CTL is about 10-15 points lower than last year at this point). Weather had something to do with, work also was to blame (a bit longer hours and travel to China). It is not the end of the world, it is just where I am at.
It doesn’t mean I am screwed for the upcoming season, I feel pretty good and have been able to step it up when needed. Rouge Roubaix is only a few weeks away and I should be okay for that assuming I can go at all (I might be in China again the week before.. not sure yet).
My plans for March include:
- 3/7: Rouge Roubaix (LAMBRA – St. Francisville, LA)
- 3/20: Hell of the South (TBRA – Berlin, TN)
- 3/27-28: Tour de Tuscaloosa (Tuscaloosa, AL)
I haven’t put together a full calender for the 2010 season yet, haven’t had the time yet, but plan a fairly full schedule all the way to August.
This season promises to a be a good one, I don’t have a lot of definite expectations for early season racing, but expect it will be a good month for the Marx-Bensdorf cycling team.
Some where in the next couple weeks, I should get my long awaited Trek Madone in (Andrea is getting one as well). They are a the bike sponsor for the M-B team and a good portion of the team will be riding the white & black frames with red accents. The feedback from the guys that have got one has been positive–I expect to be selling 58cm Felt FC (w/ SRAM Red) sometime in March… any interest?
