Without the possibility of racing in the near future it does make my question all of it. But I'm training as if racing is right around the corner for now!
I feel you. Not being argumentative, but I am saying the absolute opposite though. For me there's more to it all. We're not racing any time soon. I'd be shocked if races are salvaged this year. My body is the same though, and it needs to move and feel a certain way.
