I’ve had a couple comments reminding me that I haven’t updated in forever, so I figured I’d toss something up. My season obviously came to a close a couple months ago and I’ve been keeping decently busy since then. After I got home from Colorado, I went backpacking up in the North Cascades for five days with Kelsey. I’ve got pictures from that trip that I’ve apparently neglected to put on Flickr. I’ll get that done shortly as well. After that trip, my first internship started at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. It’s been an awesome experience so far and it’s weird to think that it’ll be done in just two weeks.
As for biking, I’ve been off the bike basically since track season ended. I rode the cross bike a couple times, thinking I’d get some races in, but I realized two things: A) I suck at cross, and B) I just don’t care. My desire to be on a bike is completely nonexistent at this point. The biggest contributor to this is how exhausting my season was this summer. Driving 600 miles every weekend to race for less than an hour total gets wearing after three months. When the season ended, I totally slumped and stopped caring. Then my internship kicked in and started dominating my life, so it’s been tough to try to kick-start my training. I plan on jumping back in once I’m done at Harborview, which is still in plenty of time to get good off-season miles in. Hell, my season doesn’t even start until May.
In an case, since I wanted pretty much nothing to do with cycling and this blag is bike-centered (look at the title, for god’s sake) I pretty much had to put it on hiatus. Look for more regular updates in the near future, though, as I’m starting to feel an itch to ride.
