I try my best to learn from experience. It’s easier said than done when so much of our days are strings of habitual behaviors, but a worthwhile endeavor every so often. What I’m doing a little differently this year in my training is a better job of making easy workouts truly easy so I can [...] So tonight was the inaugural Orange County Speedway Time Trial. The race staff was most excellent and really looks to grow this to a great event. I’d say they are off to a really good start. The course is on a .3 mile mildly banked racetrack. There’s a little tire rubber on the [...] Yes, I’m doing some run and bike volume still. Yes, I rode 100 miles yesterday because I felt good and oh what the heck, why not? Yes, I tried to join speedy Alisha and ran a hard 15 miles today at Umstead (yeah, dropped at 1.1 miles after a 6:15 downhill opener- forget that). But, [...] I ducked out of work mid-afternoon to sunny, high-50′s weather and rolled off 10+ miles at a long tempo pace. I felt strong. Hm. Good. My turnover didn’t feel forced, but more fluid and quick. The start is down hill, then back up for several miles. Volunteers are out on the trail setting up for tomorrow’s Umstead [...] I thought I’d share my favorite trainer workout with the massive readership of this blog. Yeah, I know. The words “favorite”, “workout” and “trainer” don’t really belong together in the same sentence, unless you’re saying “my favorite workout would NOT be on a trainer.” But just say your time on the trainer is a foregone [...] Aaaah…5 hours slow as the dickens ride in the chilly wind. Oh remember Texas? This wasn’t nearly as bad. Let us count the reasons: 1. not nearly so shelled 2. the roads are here turn and curve, instead of go straight further than one can see 3. there are actual trees here to block some [...] Well…I know I shouldn’t complain but it’s been challenging after a good month and a half of allergies that for some reason always make me gain weight rapidly. I won’t weight myself, but I’m easily 15 lbs heavier than early January. This is pretty much a winter goal failed, so I’m kind of frustrated by [...] I’m all about the tough races– the hilly, traily, otherwise difficult for the distance due to some quirk of the course or day’s conditions. But THIS is insane. Can you believe 5,000 people do this each year? Willingly? They call it “Death Race” which may be hyperbole or understatement depending on your point of view, [...] My Crumpler makes me happy My Crumpler brings me joy Sometimes it’s on purpose Sometimes it’s a ploy
He’s doesn’t say a whole lot He’ll email first then talk But when puts a phrase out there He’s given it some thought.
He makes me yummy dinners Twirling utensils as he goes It’s best [...] |
