Training Begins

The Goal:  Reach my dream of becoming a bicycle road racer before I turn 40.

The Rider:  39 year-old Chris Leggett from Las Vegas Nevada.  Roadie and wanna-be racer on and off since my teens.  Ready to do it once and for all.  Supremely untalented cyclist.



The bike:  06 Lemond Sarthe, geeked out with Powertap Pro and Garmin Edge 705.  The steel bike I never had when I was young...old school Lemond relaxed seat tube angle, triple crank.



The Event:  Utah Summer Games individual time trial and road race.  I chose these events because racing out of town seems somehow less intimidating that racing here.

Between now and June I need to lose 25lbs and train like crazy.  Coming later...links to Traning Peaks and Garmin Connect.  Wish me luck!!  ...and by luck I mean lots of self-mastery!
