I just posted my Triple T race report. It was an excellent race, and all of my expectations going into it were blown away. It’s amazing what consistant hard work can do. Now my job is to just keep backing it up with great (enjoyable) training!
I’ve got two “good” posts in the works – watch for atleast one of them to …

Friday
The Triple-T prologue always catches me by surprise, despite my background as a sprinter in college swimming “ I have a difficult time spinning the engine up to the necessary level. Despite a good warm-up prior to the race, this year was no exception. The swim and the bike went well …
Read MoreThis week of training notched back a bit. Partially because of the race this weekend (and associated travel tomorrow), and partly because of going to a concert – but according to plan.
Today I’m going to talk about benchmarks. My last post was spurred by a conversation with Matt Amman, today’s is spurred by a side …

Not much to post today except for a an update that the 28 day period ending yesterday (3rd “month” of 2010), was the biggest 3rd “month” I’ve done on the bike since the purchase of my powermeter TSS/kJ wise. So that was …
