BurNODA Triangle
Did the Edo, Sekiyado, Tone river triangle today. Was a nice windy ride. 20km TT warm up with a tail wind. A bottle of Gatorade at the castle, then a 30km heavy gear fat burning headwind down the Tone river then a nice cool down along the Tone canal back to the Edo river for […]
Paleo Good stuff
One week on the Paleo diet and I’m back in the winner’s circle. Completely different. Have dropped 2 or 3kgs. Have not had any dairy, processed food, sugar, and a few other things for a week now. I had some sugar withdrawal symptoms. Lots of blueberry, blackberry, raspberry & protein powder frozen smoothies…sometimes with almonds […]

Tuesday Night 13
13 riders made it to the start and NO RAIN!!! I said to myself at the 10km mark… ‘it gets tough between the 15km to 20km mark and then it gets easy till the last lap…so just hold on till the 20km mark…’ This kind of mental image training is sometimes programming yourself to fail… […]
