Nationals

been raining lots, looks better down south at mt snow, but still planning for a mudfest - time to bust-out a "big" tire for the front - kinda wish i had a 2.3 laying about... lots going-on, hard to find as much time (to ride) as i'd like, then the whole stitches thing, been taking it easy, riding the road. i'll either be silly rested and have a good one or be completely flat - either way, mt snow's technical descent will be wicked w/all this rain - hoping i remember how to ride my mtbike! looking to use Nats as a spring board for a hard 9-10 day training block, then a 7-day taper for the wilderness 101. sounds simple now, but once life and work gets mixed-in, plans can fall apart pretty quick, as they have the past 2-3wks... but, where there's a negative, there's always a positive - while only getting about 10hrs/wk in, it's been quality - and i'm feeling nice and rested, best way to go into an over-reaching phase... would be even better to go into the phase w/a solid race result tomorrow (8am!) at mt snow. now, should i mount those seracs or roll with a 2.0 bulldog. decisions, decisions... or eff it and go to bed, got to wake-up at 4a for the drive down there. lame!
