-Next Race: I'm planning on racing in Rudolph's Rampage in Harbison SC on December 16th, I'm really excited to get out there and see where I am and race. It feels like forever since I've done a race.
-Fitness: My cycling fitness has come back much more quickly than I thought it would and feel really strong, I think it has really helped that I'm no swimming or running and concentrating just on cycling. Really excited to see what I can do this year just training for mountain biking.
-Weight: I was able to keep my weight in check during my ankle recovery, but after I started getting back into training hard I started to put some extra weight on, not a whole lot, but about 5 pounds. I realized that I was still eating the same size portions that I was when I was swimming and running, (and while even though I'm riding more it's not enough to compensated for the calories burned swimming and running). Since I've made that realization and made small adjustments to my portion sizes, I've lost a couple pounds and know I won't have any trouble getting down back down to my weight last year during race season. It's really weird to talk about 5 pounds like that when almost anyone would say I'm already really skinny.
