Out for a road ride with EJ in Milton and around.

Followed up with some orienteering in Hilton Falls again.

A very pathetic week of training for me. Not sure what's wrong but three days this week I got up with every intention of going for a bike ride and didn't. I either sat at the kitchen table and did work, or came into work early to get stuff done. Not the best way to prepare for my final 2 races of the year.

Been spending a fair bit of my down time thinking about next year and what I want to do. Many different ideas, and I'm still not sure about it. One idea is to actually listen to Hammer and try MTBO with an eye for the world's, although I'm not sure if that's realistic seeing as he pointed out the only race I could do would be the world's.

I think I'd really like to focus more on bigger adventure races instead of OCUP racing; however, the fact that I do not have a competitive team really hampers this. With Eddie and Tyson I think we have the base for a really good team, but again the fact that we can't find a female at all makes it hard to actually plan any races.

Another idea is to look for 2 or 3 large 24 hour races that I can do solo and just focus on those.

The final thing I've been thinking about is my actual training. I know I don't train enough right now to be really competitive in larger races. I currently lay out my schedule based off of 450 hours in a year. I'm thinking of really going for it next year and planning for 600 hours. This would mean 14/15 hour weeks, and I don't know if I can fit that in with work or not.

... and should I consider a coach or just making this up on my own as I go.... many questions to way out.
