Finally after about 24 hours of airports via 3 different airlines and at least stops in 6 different cities I arrived back in good ole Nashville. I don't think I have ever been this happy to come back home. Of course I miss NZ already, who couldn't? It's one of the most beautiful places on earth but it's definitely not home. It's funny how different 2 countries can be. I guess that's what happens when there is a huge ocean and an international date line separating the two.
I have officially been off the bike 2.5 days but I feel like I have raced just yesterday. I can honestly say I have never experienced jet lag until now. It basically feels like you got hit by a semi truck! Last night I was so tired but couldn't fall asleep. My body clock was telling me it was breakfast time and it was only midnight. This madness has to STOP soon! I have decided to race this weekend in Greenville, SC at the training races that Hincapie Sports puts on, the site is www.teamhincapie.com if you are interested. The women's fields are 40-50 in size which is small compared to last week's World Cup but still competitive. I am really looking forward to testing my fitness against the regional competition instead of World Champions this weekend. Next weekend there are races in Nashville that I am looking forward to doing to, www.tbra.org.
Today I have a long ride ahead of me. Sleep would be nice but that isn't going to make me any fitter. I am really looking forward to getting back into a regular routine. My season is off to a good start even though New Zealand was tough. I expected that and kept into mind many of those girls are in the peak of their season. I am just coming off of winter and my peaks are still to come.
Off to ride, then to sleep and then time to work!
