This Sunday Mike and I headed to Piru, a bit north of the LA area, for our first cycling race: a 20k Time Trial. I needed to do another FTP test, so this seemed like a good way to do it. Dark and early we packed up the bikes and headed out, only forgetting the…

Yesterday’s schedule called for a 15mi time trial test on the tri bike. I knew of a loop that I thought would be great for it, and that I pass on the way to work, so I headed out there. It’s a 4 mi loop that is basically flat and has a single stop sign…

The short version: This weekend I biked a lot (and was speedyfast!) and ate yummy food. Mike is cute. The longer version: Saturday was just under 56 miles on the bike going out through Rancho on Baseline (after a morning 3ish mile run and PANCAKES! mmm school fundraiser breakfasts!). It felt pretty good, and I…

PossAbilities Triathlon was this weekend. I felt strong going in, and the day played out well. Just a short report on this one as I’ve been working on my blogging motivation lately (don’t worry, tri motivation is there and strong). Oh, and this was my 4th time at this race (although the course has changed…

This one is from last weekend when I PR’ed my 5k (at this race – with GPS): Ok I just realized I never posted here about that race! See the next post for info 🙂 And one from the 22 mile ride at the ST gals weekend (at mile 10 of this ride, about 5…
