I always seem to be the bridesmaid and never the bride when it comes to racing XC...but that changed last Sunday. I'm pretty excited because I finally got my 1st overall victory!

What a way to end the season. I can't wait to upgrade to sport class next year. I hope Sunday's race propels me into the off season. I always say I'm going to work hard through the winter months, but then I slack. Does anyone else have this problem? Finding motivation on the trainer is just so difficult.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

awesome results, madisongrrl!! Congrats on your final race. Where was it?
As for motiviation during the off-months...... that's a hard one! I don't think it's a bad idea to give yourself a bit of a break after the season ends. Bike as much as you are able, but include cross-training, also. Give your body and mind a break from biking, especially since you don't really have a choice.
There's great x-country skiing areas not too far from Madison. (Just hope for snow!) I know there are good bike clubs, tho' not sure what they offer during the off-season........... Maybe there are groups that have alternative activities during the winter. Worth checking into. Good luck!

Thanks for the congrats everyone.... The race was in Sheboygan, WI. If you ever get a chance and happen to be near WI, do a WORS race. It is the biggest XC series in the US and it is a blast. I can't wait to move up to sport class. There should be lots of great competition. I really would like to be able to train enough to move up to elite, but those chicks are ripped (and they train a lot also). So, I'll settle for Sport and see what happens. Do we have any Norba pros or elite racers on TE? Just wondering what their training regiment is...
As far as the off season, I will take a week or two off. I have to do some rehab on my left foot. But I saddle up on the trainer soon and try to hit the weights and the pool.
Happy off-season everyone,Just keep pedaling.
