Falling short....
Never really reallized how fast you have to be to be competitive in cat2. I train hard and still seem to be falling short. My results are getting more consistant now so I guess thats a start. Ever since my week off I have struggled with my training. I love doing it but my body seems to be boycotting the whole process. This week I have a recovery week and then back to some long base miles and workouts for a feww weeks.
Just did Big Bear #1 last week and somehow managed a 5th place there, follwowed up by a 6th place in Santa Barbara. I shaved over 4 min off of my Big Bear time from last year and chopped off over 11 min at Santa Barbara compared to last year. I am so much faster than last year but keep getting these lower finishes. This is just because the guys in my age group are soooooo fast. I will just have to stay consistant with my training and all will fall into place one day.....maybe by next year even.
