2010 Cycling Results

It's not quite time for my annual winter return to the blogsphere but I was writing up my race results for my team for my annual race reimbursement (big thanks to our sponsors) and wanted to share. 


Here are the results for my 2010 cycling season.  I listed race name, type, category and result. Top 10s are highlighted.

1. Sugar Hill XC - MTB - Beginner - 1st
2. Michaux Mash - MTB - Men's Open - 16th
3. SoYoCo Circuit Race - Road - Cat4/5 - 16th

Upgrades: 

Road: Cat4 --> Cat3

MTB: Beginner --> Sport  

That's 17 races across 3 different cycling disciplines with 8 top 10s including 3 wins and only 2 DNFs. Between the value of the merchandise I won, as well as the cash and team race reimbursements I'm look around $500 of cash and prizes this year. This was my best season, by any measurement, in any sport, ever.

Looking through my training log I can see where it came from: 260+ hours and 3,700+ miles of riding over 29 weeks including 25 interval sessions and an 8 day period averaging 3 hrs a day. My highest volume week was nearly 19 hours of riding.

What about 2011?

Well it's time to use the holidays to stop and reflect and think about what I want to accomplish is 2011. I've got a lot of options and a lot of exciting new opportunities. But that's for another post.

Happy Holidays,
