Week 9 Summary

This week I continued to add more carbs for each meal.  In the interest of full disclosure, I did have a lot more calories this week as it was my birthday on Monday.  This week probably better represents a "normal" living week than one of training and trying to lose weight.  Despite the extra calories my weight didn't go up, I'm still at the 222lb mark, my waist is still under 38" and I still feel good.  While I'm not eating a fully keto WOE, according to the Ketonix, I am still mostly in the orange zone with an average reading between 38 and 60 for the week.

Training this week was not so much training.  I rode easy the few times that I rode during the week to give my body a break.  That's starting to become a reoccurring theme and yet racing every weekend is something new to me and this kind of abuse warrants some extra rest.  Since I'm my own coach I can pretty much dictate whatever regimen I so desire.  :)

Saturday I did another cross race.  I almost didn't go but I wanted the points, experience, and one of my good friends had come from out of town to stay with us so he could more easily do the race the next day.  This was my second cross race.  I did quite well though it was not without a crash, broken chain, a run to the pits to get a pit bike, and finishing out on much smaller bike than I started on.  With that said, a podium finish is a podium finish and I'll take it.  

I haven't felt like writing much these last few weeks.  I'll work to turn that around.  I've got a few topics I'd like to discuss.  One thing I put up on facebook last night was my before and after pics in my racing kit.  I'm going to be making a post on that here in a bit.
