My week off

I bike 3 times a 1hr ,2.5 hr and 3.5 /4 hr . The long ride went great till I got 3 tubes that sucked, and a lift from some guy in his truck to Eric's bikes to get more tubes (one tube flat on bike ,one tube hole from factory ,one tube valve stem broke.)4.5 hr day .

Good stuff.

This bike could be the bike ,the stuff that is no good I have better to replace with off my Scott scale . 110 mm in front 100 in rear. Felt better than any other bike I have ridden .

off week

The plan is to go have fun at the chilly chili ice race, this time of year training is to detailed, you lose the feel of racing . The thing is you plan on racing a day, if you don't feel up to it you still race, you just work around the feelings and race your best and not give up. This time of year race a little, train a lot never stop doing both. Not good at racing? Race more till you need to work on training. For me A race should be 100% fun, if not there is a bit of stress involved and that tells me I need to race . http://www.morcmtb.org/photopost/data/519/CHILLYrace081.jpg

Base 1, week 3 ,Tue, Jan15

Yesterday 1hour e1 trainer, today 2 hour e2 with 5or6 one leg drills on trainer fun fun . This week will be ruff to get 13 hours in, the cold tends to slow the bike rides down outside so to only ride the trainer this week is going to make it a real test . USA cycling approved my 2007 race resume to be a 2008 expert ,so now its on! The pic is for me to remember days like this is what you train for and that makes it easy to sit on the trainer on cold weeks.

base 1, week 2 ,sun, jan13

2.5 hour e2 bike ride. Biked to leb , biked leb and biked home. Went with Keven, good times. I think that's 12 hours for the week. This week felt OK I don't feel really fast, as long as i keep rides under control I will do fine. The main thing to remember is in base you gain little in speed or anything really, so you think all the biking i will do there is no gain to see or feel and to know this is really important (no one has gotten fast on just base training , but no one got fast with out it.)

OK today went a little slow but not a waste. 2:45 was the ride time, work out was a e2 (close if not a e1 but hills were faster then normal .) .It was so wet and it made it hard to go fast, when the faster I went the wetter I got( need front fender for the spring rides ).
