time to work

Italy is wrapping up. No more traveling around, a bit of packing and walking around for the last time tmrw, then a final dinner and night out, and then a daaaaarnnnn early bus ride, short flight, long flight, car ride, and ill be home for a week before heading back to school. On-bike training starts the night I get home on the trainer, and will be intense from now until mid-july. Since I am a bit "behind" everyone I am going to have much less of a base, a shorter build-up period, and a later peak, which hasn't been set as the racing calender was just released, but should be post-collegiate and will probably be either fitchburg or housatonic or some other decent climbing race....unless things go really well and I aim for the last month of the season which is super hilly, however getting to peak in 2.5 months from 0 could be alot of work. All this is fine because it will provide me with a break and two or three weeks off mid-summer to come back to europe hopefully, and then really work super hard ahead of 'cross season, with the pan-mass, a crit or two, the gmsr and then the late season crits all as training. Planning time is over, action time is about to start, and I am very excited.
