Well dang, so much for once a week. Oh well.

So the last couple weeks have been pretty uneventful. Last week was a big week on the bike, almost 18 hours in 6 days. It was a big boost to the fitness but I'm enjoying my few days of rest and easy riding this week before I get back after it towards the weekend.

I've been toiling over the job and biking situation the last couple weeks. The "problem" is that my absolute dream job (Flight for Life) has had a ton of openings for the mountain based helicopter. However, this would be a rough time to start a new job because the next 2-3 months are pretty crucial for me to get some good riding in so that I can (try to) be competitive in the big races that I want to do.

Is it stupid that I'm choosing sport over my career at this point in my life? I'm hoping not, because I think I'm going to stay where I'm at right now, which is really something of a dream job anyway, and let things play out for another year or so. If it isn't broke, don't fix it right?

The thing I'm worried about is being able to maintain a solid training schedule while working on the helicopter. It would be less hours per week, but spread over more days, so I would essentially lose a day a week to train. I would probably be able to ride the trainer, but there's still a lot up in the air on that. The other thought is that I'm still young, very young by Flights' standards so I feel like that job will be available to me for a long time, but I only have so much time to compete at a high level of cycling. So based on that logic (which may be flawed..) I'm going to keep things the way they are.

We'll see what happens. If the opening at flights comes up again 6 months or more from now, I'll apply for sure.
