Where'd the time go?

WOW! I've been home for 5 weeks now from Defi and not really sure where the time went? It seems like I was just on a plane flying home thinking about how I had so much time till nationals.

Well, the weeks fly by sometimes. After getting home I took a much needed break for a few days. Christina, good long time friend from Florida, came out to see me for a few days. Kinda nice to be away from the bike, all of 3 days, and see how the rest of the world lives again. Sometimes I laugh about how far removed I've become from doing anything besides training, racing, and traveling. I had a great time with her playing tour guide around San Diego, even hit a few places I hadn't been to yet.

As much fun as I had with her being here, it was soon over and time to start putting in some serious time on the bike. Road nationals are fast approaching, June 22-24, and I've done nothing short of put a serious beating down on my TT bike. Coach Rick has held to his word in saying that I would be in the box leading up to the race. Still being a few weeks out I am still pouring on the time and intensity, I have right at one more week and then it'll be rest time and hope I put in enough hard work to get me onto the worlds team.

One other little thing that has come up in the last few weeks. I finally got a mountain bike! I've wanted to get something for almost a year now and after getting a little riding in during the winter, I was hooked. And thanks to the guys at B&L and Specialized, I am now riding carbon 29er hard tail and am nothing short of stoked to be on it! I haven't been able to get much more then two, two hour rides on it. And wont be able to get much more time in it till after worlds, but it sure is nice to at least get a short ride out in the dirt to change things up and look forward to a fun fall season in the dirt!

And one more last thing. www.mattbigos.com is about to undergo a full revamp! Its looking pretty cool and will be sure to have links up when its up and rolling!
