Out of the Dark and into TI8



With the end of Christmas and now for resolution ....blah season I do have to train for Trans Iowa.  If I really hope to finish a 330 mile gravel race It starts on the 30th.  Ya not the first.  It appears that I'll be getting a 3 day weekend so One last ride for December.  I haven't been out for a fun/ training ride since the 10th OUCH.  I've been working 50-60 hours a week and overnight and so on.  But the company is now in cheap mode so back to 40 hour work weeks.  This week will be a 100 miles week after this there will be a plan:

Weekly Mileage goal  - NO Excuses  (not including commuting)
Weekly Long ride        -  Even if it's in the dark (or walking through snow)
Diet!  - Not cutting calories or anything but eating the right ones
Beer - Ya not going to quite drinking (never works) but a 2-3 Drink per night limit (part of diet)
Trainer - 2 times per week (min/MAX)
Lots of repeating - "must finish crazy gravel race"
Lose Weight - not as big a deal as training but should happen anyway
