January fitness. Its sort of amazing that I can no longer do what I was able to do just a few months ago. A couple weeks relaxing, a month and a half keeping my heart rate under 150 . . . and the first outdoor team ride in weeks shows me how fast that top end slips away.

But I'm not bothered. I got dropped on team rides last January too. I'll get it all back and more, relatively quickly. February is the beginning of intensity training, March is camp, April is sprint intervals . . .
