We're at "That" time of the year again. What exactly is "that" you ask, well your either getting faster or slower. I've been feeling the later these last few weeks but it's hard to tell exactly whats going on. I shook off Ann Arbor pretty quickly but after what I deem a very poor performance at Iceman I was shaking my head once again asking all kinds of questions to myself. Iceman never was my "Thing" or kinda course to begin with so it's also hard a access that performance as well. So instead of just "showing up" at Stoney like a lot of people do at races I decided to take a week and step back.

I remember years back Too White took a whole bunch of time off racing to train, almost a month in fact and before the State Championships. I thought the guy was crazy. And he was but he showed up to States lean, mean and mentally ready to give us a pounding & he did. I'm not proposing a month off because there's not that much time left but even just a week or so to clear the mind & legs out can do wonders.

Well see... maybe while were at it we could dial up some mud for these last few races of the year because I'm tired of riding on the grass. Maybe a course change at Bloomer, say a throw back to the old State Championship days there...
