Spoiler alert, I didn't race. I trained for a few months, but I had lost a lot of fitness and progress was really really slow, and I started hating it again. I discovered it really is NOT possible to build strength in the gym and race-worthy speed on the bike at the same time. I'm not even riding except for a few miles around town on errands and the occasional social ride. I now have time to hike, explore the city, relax, lift, or work on my side gigs on weekends. My bikes are a few months past due for a full tune up. I watched Giro di SF and it looked hella fun. I keep saying I'll give it another shot in 2021 with 25-30 lbs more muscle than last time I raced lol.
