Wiley Coyote Legs

Legs felt good tonight. Lungs felt better. Two laps at D-run, moving fast.



I'm riding in the morning and then resting tomorrow night and Friday. I'll start with another Small block of training on Saturday, Hit it hard on Sunday and Monday. Then I'll recover Tuesday and sprinkle a few high intensity but short rides in on Wednesday and Thursday. I'll Be in OK shape by the 24. Again, that means surviving.

Riding into the ground

Allright, I'm feeling the effects of Saturday's debauchery. First time I had a sake bomb though.. well worth it. I think i may have a new favorite party drink!

Felt like butter on the bike today though. I'm definitely going to pack the i-pod and my lights tomorrow and ride solo for like 4 hours after work. I really need to shock the system back on track. It doesn't take me long to adapt though, so I should be able to survive the 24 on labor day. However, I won't be setting any course records.

slow ride

I missed a full week to get ready for this thing because work was busy. I'm trying to get in a bunch of riding before I head out of town this weekend. Keeping my head down and focused.

Another 24 Hour Race

Kasprzyck e-mailed me this week, He and a few dirtrag freinds and employees needed a fourth for 24 Hours of Seven Springs so I'm heading out there on September 4, for that. This is the same weekend (Labor Day) as the Shenandoah Mountain 100 so I won't be doing that this year. I just realized I should probably update that about me part of the blog, where i mentioned participating in the two races that I did not actually do as intended, or skipped altogether.

That said, I need to focus and spend some time on the bike. The healthy diet begins today. I am not allowing myself any Chipotle until after the race. I'll probably stop at Chipotle on Monday afternoon as I'm arriving back into town.

I rode Fountainhead today and could definitley feel the beer that I consumed this week, when McComrack, Bill, and Ben came down mid week on there roadtrip. I took Thursday off to catch the O's game. It's always good times with those guys.

We've been brewing beer every Sunday or Monday night now. We'll be brewing a Russian Imperial Stout tomorrow night. We'll also be bottling our IPA, and we'll be moving our apricot ale from primary fermentation to secondary. This will be the first time we'll have three major activities going on at once.
