Bury me in a vat chocolate!

So one of the greatest benefits of the racing season and side effects of gaining supreme fitness: the ability to burn calories at warp speed, and copious consumption of all the foods I love! I haven't yet nailed down a plan for my racing season as PT school still reigns king, but I've already been overtraining, in the kitchen... Time to put the fork down and step away from the table.
In my next life, Nutella will contain 0 calories, and flow from fountains! In addition to peanut butter, chocolate, and ice cream!

First Dirt

My new Yeti 575 saw its first ride outside this week, with a short roll-out on the neighborhood dirt paths. It really needs a proper singletrack christening, but that is a bit away with the weekly Denver winter snow-melt cycle. To sum up my first experience aboard the "Big" bike, it is certainly heavier than my ASR-c, yet it inspires nothing short of fun as it begs to pounce off drops and crush rocky terrain under its sturdy yet nimble chassis! I can't to get out on the trail and really develop my legs of steel pedaling this 6" travel mammoth uphill and then ripping a screaming descent!
