I love Jens Voigt.
A blog about bike racing.
About Me
- Tamara Fraser
- When I started bike racing in 2006, I got dropped from every race [and team ride] for months. But I persevered and have steadily improved — I'm now a cat 3 (!) and expecting to get my butt kicked by the tough 1,2,3 field.
"Hey kid, this is bike racing – it's all fair. It's a sport where treachery is revered. Grow up."

why? can you be more specific?
Because when I vent my frustrations to him, he tells me what I need to hear. In this case that getting dropped in January [on a HARD ride] doesn't mean I'm not doing well. I could do some workouts that would strengthen me to the point that I could easily keep up, but doing that now would hurt me later in the year, during racing season. So I just have to suck it up for now and stay the course.
And thinking about where I was last year at this time -- nowhere near as strong as I am now -- also gives me hope. I'll be OK come racing season.
