Quick Summary

The visit from family is almost at an end. Our house is a mess and cleaning and recovery should take at least one full day. I forget what it's like to have children 4 years old and younger around. It can be very draining on your nerves, especially when they are not your own.

The race at Markum Park went well. I finished Fifth out of five but I'm totally ok with that. I rode my full rigid single speed and was cautious because of it. Some of the downhills were wallowed out at the bottom so I opted to walk those. The margin for error is too great with a rigid fork. I did however complete three laps and got a hell of a workout, both leg and upper body. 

I have hired a coach. I'm hoping that he will be able to better organize my ride time so that I can train effectively verses just all out riding. I will keep you up to speed on how that is going.
