I've got about another month or two before I have to commit to triathlon bike training, so I decided to continue getting the most out of my mountain bike. While I actually can't wait to get out and do some serious cycling on the road, learn new routes around Dallas, and meet new people, I registered for the 2012 DORBA Frozen Endurance Series at Johnson Branch State Park, a four hour solo off road race (one attempts to get the most amount of 8.8 mile laps within four hours.
Given this new race added to my annual training plan, I need to continue to practice. I fractured a rib or two back in late September, and therefore I'm still not re-confident in my off road skills. Yesterday I went out to Rowlett Creek Preserve and was able to ride ALL the trails out there, walking only minimally. Now I realize that most of the trails our there are "green," but there are a few "blue" and "black" trails. I was still able to get through all of them, boosting my confidence.
Looking forward to this new experience.
Train safe!
