Today I was scheduled to do hill repeats at torrey pines. After talking with Felipe last night I decided I was going to ride with him and Luke instead. When I woke up this morning, it was pouring rain, so I figured the ride was cancelled. So I threw my bike on the trainer in […]
This morning Jen and I arrived at the Coronado Municipal Pool at 6:30 just in time to say hello to Dave, Paul, Amanda, Veva, Emily, Nuno, and a few others who are a little more devoted than me and show up at 5:00am.
The swim workout was unusually tough. I think it may be due to […]
Tonights spin was different than the normal spin. Due to rain we had spin class in the garage, instead of outdoors. Turns out, when you pack 15 people inside a garage, it gets hot! I was sweating like a crazy man. I wore my DeSoto 400-mile bike bibs and they were a hit. I instantly […]
Todays workout was tough! My legs are VERY sore tonight. Normally I would be dreading the thought of tomorrows morning workout on sore legs but I have tomorrow off!
I got my training schedule for February today and Felipe is getting nicer. He gave me 3 days off this month. Another thing I noticed was different […]
Today I had the day off from training. So the time I would have usually spent training I spent cleaning and tuning up the new 07 Felt B2. Often times the cables on new bikes stretch as they get broken in. My rear derailleur definitly need some adjusting. With all the riding this week my […]
Today I did the same ride I have done for the last 4 weekends. Del Dios -> Elfin Forest. The hills are getting easier, I am riding the route more efficiently… yada yada yada. So today I am not going to write very much because you’ve heard it all before. Instead I will give you […]
Today is the second of two days off I have for the month of February. I didn’t realize this until I looked at my schedule AFTER my morning ride. This morning I did a 20-mile zone 1 recovery ride from Pacific Beach to the Cabrillo Monument at the tip of Point Loma and back.
It was a […]
Tonight was my first night running again. The plan was to take it VERY easy on a flat surface to see how it felt. I did just that. I ran 1200 meters and could feel things tightening up so I stopped, stretched out, and did 10 x 400 meters all in zone 2. Between each 400 I […]
Last night I had my weekly spin class with Felipe and Breakaway-Training. Felipe decided that it was my turn to use the 1 fluid trainer he had. The difference between a Mag and Fluid trainer is that the resistance increases as your wheel spins faster on a fluid trainer. On a Mag trainer the resistance […]
Last night I went to the gym with my roommate and it was the most rediculous thing I have ever seen. Before I tell the story let me warn you that this post is a negative one. Its a bit of a complainer post and if thats gonna bring you down I suggest not reading […]
