Purpose of this blog

I started this blog as a way to track my progress in my cycling training throughout this season. I figure it will be a good way to look back after a year and see what I did right and wrong. My goals for this year are to be competitive at a high level on the road, so I'm doing as much as I can to make that happen.

I'm a big fan of Johan Bruyneel's quote, "We might as well win" . He explains this by saying that if you are going to expend that first big block of energy to do something, you might a well do the extra small things to take full advantage of it. If you just half-ass it, you're wasting your time. In cycling, the initial block is taking the time to train, and the small things are working on technical skills, sticking to a diet, cross-training, studying tactics etc, and most importantly, making the most of the time you spend on your bike. I think that this mentality will really help me.
