While Tim and I were doing our lazy pace get out and move the legs ride this afternoon, I brought up the fact that I have yet to set any concrete goals for the season. This will be my first moderately-real racing season since 2006, and the first season I've given any real thought toward riding as training other than for the sake of purely turning pedals. I have been seriously overburdened with school work this semester, and as a result my training schedule lacks any and all consistent structure. I keep coming back to something that my coach Mike Kuhn once told me in high school. The hour you put in is better than the three you don't. When debating whether or not my time constraints include training, these words always pop into my head. Somehow, that hour always turns in to two, or more. So, this little piece of advice is what has been keeping me motivated this year. Oh yeah, and goals. Sleep more, do less homework, ride that hour that turns into 3.
