I just recalibrated my powermeter. Looks like the slope drifted from 21.78 (rounded to 21.8) to 21.37 (rounded to 21.4).

Because torque and cadence = a certain power, torque is calculate by dividing by the slope – which means my PM was underreporting by a couple of %.

SRM recommends recalibrating every six months or so …

Things have been going OK that last couple weeks since the Triple T.  I’m essentially all healed up, my right knee has still has some tenderness and some big fat scabs, but otherwise all is good.

Training has been progressing pretty well.  I’ve had a few bumps along the way, but generally I am quite happy with where I …

So far I have been recovering pretty nicely from my crash.  The bike need some work on the front end (Aerobar extensions, basebar, etc), and the wheels needed to be trued – that is about it.  Is ready to pick up from the shop tonight!  Thanks Brent.

Me – I needed some tegaderm for some of the road rash.  It has been …

I was not very confident going into this race.  Earlier this week I fell on a run and had a bit of a pinch in my back.  I had a friend work on it a bit, and it felt much better, but not perfect. 

The other ding to my confidence is my perceived fitness level – compared to a year ago, my CTL was significantly lower then …

Yes, this post is titled after Miley Cyrus’ new song.  Yes, I like the song.  No, I am not a Miley Cyrus fan, Britney’s new song is much more to my liking.  More on the title in a bit, first let’s start sharing some long overdue information.

First and foremost, this year I am competing as part of Team …

So I was thinking today that it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on my blog and I really should post an update.

Then here I am looking through my web server logs and discover a referral from gear-grinder.com, the team I am on this year.  So I spose I should start posting some regular updates to reflect …
