Life as a teenage cyclist

Cycling itself is hard work, long hours and early mornings....but cycling as a teenager, what a LIFE!!

So how it all works.. I am 16 years old and focusing on cycling as my sport takes alot of commitment...if i wan't a cyclist i would be just like any other teenager out there, living the life, late nights, late mornings and of course partying...but as a cyclist you need to take all of this into concideration, as it hampers your performance!
So this is abit about how i cycle as a teen, this is a general week of training for me.
Wake up 03:30
Start riding 04:15
Get home at about 06:15
Shower, eat and pack for school
Leave home 07:00
School starts at 07:40
Finish school at about 15:00
Rest of the afternoon consists of sny of the following; relax, ride again, gym, squash, run or homework.
Eat dinner at abour 19:00
go to bed at around 20:30

REPEAT>>>

Thats during the week, now we arrive at the weekend...when everyone is going out with mates, to clubs or to parties, now the decicision comes...1) go out with friends? 2) Stay at home so i am ready for tomorrow's ride? My decision depends on when my next race is and how much sleep i have got during the week? So most of the time it's a 50:50 chance of answer 1 or 2.
If i am racing on sunday i won't go out on saturday night, if there is no race it is a rest day for me and i would have gone out on saturday night.

What a life?
