I'm not going to attempt to fill in the blanks since the last post, other than the fact that I got 15th at crit nats which was a good result.
Of course the biggest news in my life is the arrival of our little girl, Marieka Olivia Campbell who's now 2 months old. She's pretty great and seems to be about average as far as the screaming hysterics go. I can do nothing in the breast feeding department which can get frustrating.
I never realized how much I took my free time for granted. Now I am responsible for another helpless human being and one of us always has to be with her, and that leaves me with 2-3 hours some days to train or do anything alone if that ever happens.
Somehow I'm going to get fit once again and race for Bob's Bicycles in '08. I'm excited about the strong team that we have and will be pumped for the races where I'm racing with some teammates.
I plan on doing a lot of miles on one circuit in particular that packs about 2,500 ft. in 40 miles. I'll assured of quality miles that way when I'm able to get out. See the route below and check out the hosting site in general. Its free and really cool--mileage, elevation profile, and othere people's routes available for viewing.

As for racing I will scale things back to two races/weekends a month in general and try focus on the better courses and prize lists. I'm hoping to do a bit of travelling with the team and we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
That's all for now.

Yes, many people have done that before you, I have no doubt you'll be as strong as ever, and might even be better as you'll be more focused if you have only a few races you're targeting.
Thanks Mick. And if I'm no good then I'll have a hard time justifying going on, so I better win a few!
Congrats on your new arrival! Hopefully she'll be out cheering on Dad at the few races a month that you choose next season. Happy training.
