The good: Finally made it out to a few race days after accumulating lots of hours on the track at structured training sessions over the past couple years. Didn't place well, but learned a lot.
The bad: Burned out hard due to a combination of not being able to balance life and cycling, not letting go of unhealthy habits, and dealing with a heavy personal matter.
The ugly: Stopped riding bikes completely in the latter half of the year, tried to sell my track bike (luckily I couldn't find a buyer).
The plan: Back on the bike and enjoying it again, and living a much healthier life than I was before. Now, the plan is to get stronger. I moved a couple months ago and essentially all of my road riding is flat now, so I'm focusing on developing strength and power. Now that I have to deal with a real winter, I might even wind up in a *shudder* gym.
