Sunshine and La Vuelta Independencia

It's been a little while since I last wrote. Since then I moved my training session to D.R. just for the fact that weather is more outdoor training friendly, I still train mostly by myself, but is a bit more motivating when is all sunshine and 30 degree weather. I also recently was able to participate in La Vuelta Indepencia, it was taken as big training block of cycling and it was a nice change of pace from my regular training. It helped me work on my top end speed which was a bit lacking since I haven't been working on it. But now since the vuelta is over I've gotten since and been missing a couple of days of training, but I like to think my body need the rest to recuperate from the intensity of the vuelta.  Looking forward to getting back on track with the training and be ready for the beginning of the season. here is a pic suffering while on the cat 2 climb:

Montreal, Canada.

So after a week of test in Canada of test, I'm back to regular training. I'm not so happy with the test results, if i were to look at them from a different perspective, there are good parameters for the season. I did enjoy my time with the karma squad and the Quebec provincial team, there a great group of people. One of the drawbacks of Montreal is definitely the weather is just not the type of weather to be training for the summer Olympics. Here is pic while riding on the Velotron:

New Year, New Beginning

So this is a brand new year, new coach, new support and new mentality. Not everything is brand new, but some important things have change for the good, whatever has not change needed not changing and so it stays. I'm looking forward to whatever this year brings and hope everyone has a grand year that exceeds all expectations!
