Clarity & confidence...

Graeme offered a free consult to anyone yesterday so I took him up on the offer and called, after 10 min on the phone I hung up feeling confident, focused, and clear on my path for the next 6-8 weeks. I guess all I needed was some re-assurance and a little direction. I was not sure what to do about my training with some CX races coming up in the next few months. I felt that I needed to continue working hard on on the bike with short intense efforts and other CX specific training to ramp up for the races. What I learned (and sort of knew but was not sure about doing) was to take break from the intense long road season. My body and mind needed it. In my head I wanted to follow the 6 week transition plan but thought 6 weeks was to long to take for a recovery/easy workouts with CX racing right around the corner. What Graeme taught me was to adapt the plans to my needs.....follow it for 3-4 weeks. Be flexible, adapt, and use the tools I have in such a way that they work for me. Thanks for the advice Graeme!
