Friday Night Follies

C-san, A-san, K-san and myself had a special light run tonight. C-san and I started about 30 minutes early and had a nice warm-up. 54km for myself for the night. Now 2 beers and the Dauphine on TV. Long weekend too…

Mini Stop

Tonight’s 61st Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, is 42,4km and that’s about exactly what I just rode for the Wednesday night sprint group. I had jelly legs all day today after last night’s effort and was hoping it was going to rain so I could go to the gym or stay home. A call from Cab […]

1 hour Tuesday Night Battle

A bit of confusion last night with the last lap. The training is supposed to be an hour but 3 guys went for the win with 5 minutes to go. After they slowed down from their sprint finish we motored past them telling them there was one more lap to go. Enthusiasm depleted, the last […]

Protein Part 2

I recently ordered the 5 lbs banana and 5 lbs tropical fruit from bodybuilding.com. Previously I was using another U.S company At Large Nutrition but the prices at bodybuilding made me switch. Here is the thread on that HERE Check out the current prices HERE: Much cheaper than buying the Japanese proteins locally even with […]

Glued down their ears on Saturday…

Spring Warmth just before Rainy Season

Nice and warm this morning. Bit of light sunburn on my arms but I got home around 10a.m so no real UV damage to worry about. 58km which is the usual minimum distance if I get to the start on time. I was up early enough to do a quick run to the castle beforehand […]

On the third day…

His feet felt like lead. Actually I didn’t feel too bad tonight. I just went out there to hang on and improve my aerobic fitness. 44km. 7 riders. 10 sprints. I came 3rd in two but was not really out to go hard. Lantern rouge was the game plan and as I took a short […]

Breakaway Too Strong

Tuesday Night Training. 12 starters. After the 3 lap warm-up 2 guys broke away and held us all at bay for the hour. One sporting a new rear disk wheel and an H3 (HED) on the front. Like last week I thought they’d slow down a bit and the followers (us) would catch them. We […]

Fitness Test #2

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 […]

Wet Weekend

The clouds were thick this morning but was dry enough to head out to training.  Can’t remember the last time I went as the weather, Saitama TT and TOJ have interrupted the last few weeks. Was humid with a slight headwind for the sprint home. A small 4 man group was not big enough to […]
