San Dimas... and the fatness...

In the midst of the San Dimas stage race this weekend, I was really down on myself going into it... I still don't have a real handle on my weight yet, it seems to fluctuate a lot day to day for no real reason... knowing that made it tough to come into this race with any confidence whatsoever. With the opening time trial being a 4 mile hill climb and the road race course being a rolling course with one good steep hill that we had to ride over 8 times, it's not a race that you can expect to do anything in when you're at least 10 pounds over your race weight... All considered things are going alright though, I'm not able to contend for a result in the GC but I'm hanging in and getting the training... which is what I need, my form was really low going into this season... much lower than I thought, and that became real evident at the first couple NRC races... Things are starting to come around though, I still don't feel real great but I'm adapting to training hard again and that's where you have to start... I'm hoping in the next two weeks I can have some decent form for Ojai... we'll see how it plays out...
