Didn't race much this year ...

Well to anyone reading this who is a racer it was obvious that I didn't get many racing miles in this year. However next year I plan to do a lot of criteriums. Probably not a lot of road races though. It takes a lot of effort to train for 100 miles races, plus I like the speed and cornering of the criteriums more. This winter I'll probably spend a lot of time in the gym, getting jacked ... no seriously I'm doing most of my training now commuting back and forth to the place I'm student teaching at. The backpack which weighs 21 lbs makes this some considerable effort and in all seriousness I will spend a fair amount of time in the gym.
