Have you raced recently?

nope havent raced since…the beginning of May…

I’m not really training or preparing for the upcoming season…as you can probably tell with my workouts. These are more or less meant to keep me in shape with the idea that I could eventually pick it up a notch if I chose to race again…I just graduated, so I’m not on a team anymore as well…
