Change is good...

Time to change it up! Specifically my training and bike set up. The Stony Creek Marathon was my longest XC race yet. During this race, I happened to target a few weaknesses over the 60 miles. My endurance was what I had expected, but my ability to keep the hard efforts going was just not there. I'm sure the mud collecting on the bike didn't help matters. The tires I'm using bite like nobodies business, but they also fling mud the size of cow pies. If everything goes as planned, I'll see some improvements in the upcoming races. I figure I have time to change and test out a few things before the next race. I just have to be careful not to change too much. So far, the adjustments made to the bike have improved the comfort and off road handling. Not really the time to be doing this kind of stuff, but better late than never. At least that's what I'm going with at this point in time.
