Goals

Recently I was lacking motivation to train. I was going through one of
those low points in the season where you ask "why am I doing this?" .
It's weird how that attitude sneaks up on you. One day your feeling
good about training and riding your bike, then you wake up one morning
with this sense of dread at the thought of riding.
In an effort to kick that feeling I re-evaluated my goals; actually I
created some goals. I found my lack of motivation was coming from not
having any real goals to work towards.
So here are my goals for the rest of the road season:
  1. Do well in the Cal Cup races
  2. Continue to learn about racing in the P1/2 field
  3. Finish with the lead/main group at University RR
  4. Finish University RR
  5. Race aggressively
  6. Make it through the rest of the season
  7. And...my stretch goal is to win the SF Giro (I won last year as a cat 4)
Now I'm feeling a lot better. I'm once again having fun on the bike, but that could also be attributed to the new bike ;)
