cycle training involves counting.  counting kilometers, counting watts, counting metres climbed, counting calories.  i am trying to get ready for some key races coming up and i am counting everything.  it gets a bit monotonous sometimes and i am being accused of being a bit over the top with weighing food and counting calories.  but cycling encompasses many  different aspects which can range from riding for pure enjoyment to absolute scientific precision.  i am sitting somewhere in between and am perversely enjoying the scientific aspect…especially if i see some results.  pass me the rice cakes.
