Rode today for a nice three hour round trip out to the climb on St. Augustine with a mix of terrain and intensity. Got some sprint work in downtown amongst the traffic and ran into Randy Radish, the organizer for the Superweek race in Waukesha. He told me Max from cyclesmith has been tearing it up and is sitting fourth in points; good to hear. He then pointed out that my leg hair was getting as long as his --and he doesnt shave the legs. I should probably get on that. Called Krueg early this morning and hopefully he'll be coming down to stay next weekend for the superweek wrap-up. that would would be swell. Alright kids and grown-ups I need to get my sleepies

True to Form
Ha. If I wasn't clear in my last post, I finally became the namesake of this blog last saturday when I was popped not once but twice. the first time coming after 17 minutes. Ouch. Oh well. Tonight was the Doc ride. Pace was HIGH, averaging 24.8, probably in the top 3 fastest wendnesday nighter. Hung out in the middle for the first few miles then moved up and started working. Contested no sprints. Last few miles after the turn onto D I believe were HOT with attacks coming from Adam and Tony, myself aswell as Ben Lund and John R(?) from Hayes. John from transistion mixed it up as well. I think I might have irritated a few guys by letting gaps open, but today it was full on team tactics. Short stats, 1hr to get there at 216w and then 1hr10min or so at 256 for the ride itself.
not a bad night, but I still do not feel great. Oh well, I am enjoying being on the bike again and that makes today a minor but important victory. It's slowly coming back and although it's the beginning of July, I am already looking forward to next year. oh next year.
At anyrate, I need to thank my teammates for the encouragement, support, and advice regarding the blow-up so far this summer. It's helped to make keeping the faith a lot easier and a lot less stressful. Thanks guys. Scoots, you too, if only for the interest in my occasionally winning dietary preferences.
Eh this weekend I think I'll head up to Germantown to hang with Mike and see some new riding territory. Should be fun. That's all for now
Also, I'm up for another one of these:
VO2MAX YES! and a methacholine challenge! to see if I have exercised induced asthma. Very nice. oh well. maybe I will get that TUE...
I leave you with once question:
very sexy hey?

Iowa City
Hey Ya'll
Hmm. That last few days have been great. After another week of intermittent recovery riding, I went out last tuesday with the guys from Atlas and Mercy. Greg-Dizzle had to work which was kind of a bummer. Finn and I managed to get off the front for the final few miles in on Rhoret. I don't think they were chasing too hard but it was fun to go for it anyway. He is flying after his collapsed lung. Iowa City is mad raw.
