Nope, I didn't buy another set of sick wheels, but these are nine things I've been up to lately:
- I destroyed the in-destroyable. I was experiencing some brake pulsing, and I, as usual, ignored this. Well, when I was braking relatively hard I hit a pothole, my rim split in half horizontally. Luckily, I was only a mile from home so I could walk it, but man, no power now!?! Do my workouts even count?!
- I built up my dad's cross bike from last year with most of my parts. It has one chainring in the front and is very light.
- I mean sooper light, like under 17lbs if I cut the steerer tube (~20g), remove the garmin mount (~10g) and put on my full carbon rear brake (24g).
- I will do those small changes and post pictures soon, as in as soon as my brake arrives.
- I put in another good week of training last week, without racing, at just over 15 hours of pedaling.
- I started my junior year of high school.
- I am going to help out Julie and Dad hopefully finish grooming the Manitoc cross course tomorrow.
And now for the real news:
- I got the "Ok" to race Nationals from my mom, again, assuming the race schedule for juniors stays the same from the prior years (where I would race on only Saturday)
- I couldn't be more pumped for this season.
