Good sign...I guess

Today was the first of my 5x20 workouts. Although it was tough, I got through it and I'm moving just about the same weight (at least with my legs) that I was doing back when I was on 3x12's. I also got in some more road riding this weekend. My legs are tired when I'm on the bike but they feel good. I'm not doing any crazy efforts because I don't need to. I'm hoping that this time in the gym will pay off when I can try and put in some bigger days on the bike this year. My goal this year will to be bed down anywhere from 2-4 hours each night but maintain a slightly slower pace overall throughout that time.

I'm more excited this year than I was the first year I did this race. I just wanna ride and camp.
