Busy upcoming race schedule

Race season is here and it's time to see where I am. I quite a few races coming up in the next couple weeks:

 -The Charlotte Summer Mountain Bike Series races will start April 18^th and will continue most Wednesdays through August, I’m not going to taper or rest going into them, but will use them as really hard training days.  I am also planning on running 20-30 minutes following each race (we’ll see how if I can do this or not), to try and get ready for the Xterra races and it will also give me an idea how hard I can push during the mountain bike portion of the Xterra races and still have a good run.

 -April 22^nd I will be racing Stumpjump, one of the more important mountain bike races for me this year.  It’s a AMBC (American Mountain Bike Challenge) race and if I have a good result I can definitely use that in my request for a pro license at the end of the year.

 -After another Summer Series MTB race the following Wednesday I have a decision what race to do on April 29th.  I can either do the Huntersville Triathlon, which I might have a chance to race for the win, depending on who signs up for the race (right now there’s not too many big names signed up for it).  I could also do the Southern Classic MTB race in Columbia, which counts toward the South Carolina State Mountain Bike Championships, which depending on how Stumpjump goes I may be in the running for; I guess I’ll see how Stumpjump goes and then evaluate from there.

On a different note I’ve lost a couple pounds since my post about being fat, by doing the small things that seem to make a big difference in my weight (drinking water, not eating to late, and avoiding dessert).  So I’m just about the weight I think I should be, I just need to keep doing the right things with my eating to maintain that.
