2023 Wrap-up

 It's 2024 already. Maybe it is time to have some goals, right? Can I really do this retirement? I'm skipping a race this weekend. I just didn't find time to plan anything yet.

Just today, I decided not to race the Tour de Zwift. The stages are just too long. Stage 1 isn't that bad. But some of the next ones are long and then there's another Alp on the list. Two laps of RGV (I hate that lap)

But, mostly I started stage one and saw that hideous hat. Nope. Sorry. I refuse such offensive fashion. It isn't the first outfit I have rejected either. 

I had the idea of doing 100,000 meters of elevation this year. That is how many Alps? 95 Wow. That would be quite a hard year. I forgot to mention, I did an all out attack on Vontoux. I came as close to the goal as possible, landing at 60 minutes and 14 seconds. That's the fastest time of the year and only QOM Gardner and the Gigante are under that. I would be insane to try to do any better. Although I have one hell of a holo if I want to give it a go. However, I managed to finish the beast by setting a new time for the last section of it. I think it would be more fun to try to break only that section. Otherwise, I will race a whole hour just to fall behind in the last few minutes. That would be sad indeed. 

Some day this year I still would like to do all 11 leader jerseys on the same day. I would need an entire day literally. When, when, when? 

Stay tuned. You never know what's next.
