CX Season Comes to an End today

That's it, called it an end to the season today for a few reason, mainly due to another round of sickness that I caught over the Christmas holiday. It's going to take a few days to get over this which will impact training and performance for Worlds that is less than two weeks away.

I know many will say "just get well and go have fun at Worlds". I could do that but that's not how I roll. I'm not going to invest in travel, days off work, hotel costs  for just a ride around the park, so I've done what is best for me and called the season done. I need to get rested up then begin training for next year.

2011 has been an awesome season, best one so far. Results were better than expected and the fun factor was off the charts. When you start training as early as I do it does apparently takes its toll on the body and I can only take it so far.

This I will learn from for 2012 which will include calling the season over after State and adding the Madison USGP event to replace Worlds. Really, a trip to Madison in September will be much more enjoyable then a trip to Louisville in Jan. And Dawndi will enjoy it more too.
The next few days I will rest up, clean bikes and get ready for winter training.
