Wow. Where to start… This race report is going to be long. And tough. Kinda like the day. There was the good, the bad, and the ugly. Guess I’ll just keep it how the day played out, but we’ll start a bit before Sunday. Since this was a ‘B’ race (secondary focus for the year)…

Well I finished my application for the University of Redlands Masters in GIS program. Which I thought was needed by July 31st. Turns out it was by sometime last week (due to the work fellowship program I’m also applying for). Well after that stress of yesterday, and due to some awesome work by my editor…

I’m alive, I just haven’t posted lately. I was thinking about it as I drove to work today, and I average ~9 hours of work a day, 2 of driving, ~2-3 of working out and showering after all the workouts, ~6-7 of sleeping (gotta get better there), and about 2 of sitting on the couch…

It’s all about TITS Time In The Saddle If I could find a shirt like that I’d so buy it. Dunno if for me or Mike or both though 😉 Even better would be a bike jersey!

Or maybe I was just more successful with flip-turns today 😉 I did them about 90% of the time. A few really bad ones, but some very comfortable ones! The majority were pretty good depth with a bit of an angle at pushoff. I don’t think I blogged about those yet… Mike showed me how…

It’s finally here… recovery week! And just in time! My legs feel well-worked, and I’m getting to that overly-tired-when-the-alarm beeps feeling. And I had 3 great weeks, being right on with my 16 mile run each week, a nice long bike each weekend, and quality and consistency during the week! Well this weekend was my…

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…
