Feel great on and off the bike. Again, not looking at this as a short term plan for a specific event. Lay down the groundwork to fuel my body correctly for the rest of my days on and off the bike. I will say that a big positive affect this has had on me is the way I feel under stress. I've owned a business for ten years now and things can get very stressful.
Incredible physical and mental stability on and off the bike. CONFIDENCE in how I feel and my knowledge of proper fueling. Mind over matter. If I know I'm doing what it takes to feel and be strong, then it's that much easier to make those things a reality, like winning my first cat 3 road race in a field of 60+ strong riders. Looking forward to more results like this in the future.
Try to get faster than I've ever been at 41 yrs old.
Change my body composition and find the optimal fat to body weight ratio for power output, based on being an all-around cyclist. I'm a strong climber for my large size, but can also lay down big power in the flats.
Gain knowledge of how to create a diet that's sustainable long term. Not look at it as a diet, but simply how I'll eat forever, so I consistently feel great and perform optimally.
