Glad you guys are enjoying the chat.

gnat, I found last season that a week off was not nearly enough. I did periodization training for 10 months, and what I really needed was a real off season.

I knew this in my heart, but getting myself to cooperate turned out to be a whole separate issue. That is why this year, I drew a line inthe sand, set a date for the last race, and then...off season. My race buddies keep trying to push the date further in to the fall, but I am planning on holding firm.

Yoda...they windsurf here, and I soooo want to learn. I can get a 4 hour lesson for around 100 dollars. I think I might treat myself before it gets to late in the season. I love to go fast.
