Today, as usual running late for training after feeding the dogs so I did a little 5km warm up on the rollers before heading out into the cold. Some electrical tape repair work on my shoe covers kept my toes warm today. I ordered a new pair of shoe covers on amazon the other day [...]

We had snow last night followed by heavy rain then nice blue skies all day.
The roads were nice and dry by 9p.m just in time for my first sprint training session since our big crash.
I wanted to do an hour’s warm up, but by the time I played with the doggies, and got my bike [...]

Hitachinaka Simulation Training
January 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment
After not having used the home DVD player in a long long time, I thought it would be good to train on the roller while watching my favorite cycling DVD.
30km of serious rolling is about as much as I can bare and that’s a good distance for my Hitachinaka training for June.

Winds blowing every which way today. Rarely from behind. Up early and went North instead of South and got in a good 40km before training started. The wind though was picking up and I didn’t feel like going in the sprint today with my arm still sore so I stopped at the cycling groups rest [...]

Been some time since I did the first this test back in January. Have been feeling guilty about not using my roller much except for warming up for races. With some rainy looking clouds outside to make me procastinate a river run I did both; the roller and a short river ride.
I started this time at [...]

With rain on the forecast for tomorrow I forced myself to ride to work today. With 2 training sessions planned for Tue (morning & night) I didn’t want to go without. A bit cool on the way in and dark clouds on the horizon made for perfect riding to work weather. No build up of [...]

Tuesday Morning Training
April 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The puppies woke me up at 4 a.m and after attending to them there was no excuse for me to miss the Tuesday morning ‘new’ training group. Last week I went straight back to sleep and felt guilty.
I arrived about 5 minutes early (5:15)by lazy car and there was nobody there.
Then they all started coming [...]

I woke up at 4:15a.m this morning with the intention of going to my first morning run in Fukuda but within about 5 seconds decided to go back to sleep.
Feeling guilty about that most of the day I did a lot. Well, a lot more than I usually do.
1: Home center. More pebbles for the [...]
