Baby on the way
So, to those of you who don’t know, my wife and I are expecting a baby girl to join our family this mid-October.
We are very excited with this news, and we’ve been doing everything to stay healthy, nutritious, and active for our baby. We want her to be brought up in an environment with the pinnacle of love and good-health, and I think we’re both doing an excellent job so far of creating that environment.
So, the racing schedule will definitely be modified, but not obliterated. I still have the goal of competing at a professional level…but, the immediacy and primacy of this goal is second to loving and providing for my family.
It’s actually funny, I have been more disciplined now that we know we have a baby on the way than I was in the past. I get up each morning early (momma and baby are hungry) and make sure that I get in at least a half hour of hard hill riding in before I start working. This has been a very good application of practical health strategy for me.
I don’t know what my next races will be, but I will continue to be biking and getting ready for whichever one it is. So, be prepared competition! I will be there and ready to rip your legs off, even if I look like a hairy mountain man and not a slick-greased roadie like I used-to! Hah!
