Right now we're taking some time to relax and rest after what has been a very long season. Our decision to race the 1/2 IM in April meant training began in earnest January 1 and this combined with the marathon BBA schedule, Grand Prix, and then CCC in Barbados created a taxing season.
The CCC in Barbados was extremely rewarding as both Dee and I looked at it as the last chance to ride in the Bermuda color in international competition. Dee won the Gold Medal (again!) in the Time Trial with a commanding performance. I managed to make the podium again with a bronze medal. We didn't fare as well in the road race with Dee falling ill from the dreaded flying fish disease while I put in about 55 miles before cramping up and calling it a day.
The island of Barbados is beautiful, one that we could definitely see ourselves visiting again. Distinctive terrain as you wandered both from North to South and East to West. Windy conditions and lower than expected humidity made the heat bearable.
The weekend in Boston for next post...
