Trixie is ready. Am I?

Today is Monday of race week! Yikes! Trixie is ready with her hot, new race wheels. I decided that as my Mother’s Day / Birthday present I’d upgrade Trixie a little bit. Okay, a lot. Trixie is sporting some nifty carbon fiber wheels from Hawk Racing. Big thanks to Patti – a Z-mate  - for the information and connection!

So, now that we know Trixie is ready, the real question is am I? Well, I’ve done most of my homework, so to speak. Even with missing a chunk of time thanks to Peter Parasite a couple of months ago I got the rest of my key workouts in. And fortunately I have not really been sidelined from the epic dental adventure of the past five weeks (aka the root canal from hell). Just before taper started I had three weeks of workouts that included hill repeats on the bike. And of course riding the IMLP course back on Memorial Day Weekend! In addition, I did three rides out of Culpeper, all of which included Etlan Road and Round Hill Road. And the scary rest stop!

I have no idea what is hanging from the ceiling but we always feel like a horror movie could be filmed here!

Now I’m in taper mode and trying not to pig out. And last week managed to get a lot of rest. Not so much the last couple of nights but I hope to fix this the rest of the week! Yes, I am ready! My Team Rabbit-mates and I have all had an issue or two to deal with leading up to Race Day, Sunday, but we ARE ready!
