MIA...

Life is good.

I have been super busy... with work and training.

I started off last week just focusing on recovery, arranging my trip to Virgnia for the Xterra East champs, and letting my wounds heal.

All my cuts and scrapes are looking good and the only one I am still dealing with is the hip and it's almost gone as well. I didn't take me too long to recover from the race I went on a couple of easy rides on Tuesday and Wednesday and by Thursday I was ready to go.

I am going out of town this weekend... to good 'ol Vegas.. so there will be no training. So my plan was to go big on the bike with solid 9 day block before taking two days off. I have done a couple runs and swims but I am mostly focusing on the bike. Starting next week I will hit some speed workouts to prep for Richmond. Here's what the past couple week has looked like:
