This week is a rest week – so no crazy training exploits to brag about. Just a realization of how tired I actually am. I almost feel more worn out then I did on Sunday.
Last weekend was a very solid training weekend. On Saturday I rode the IMWI course. It was my fastest ride ever on the course (5:24), it wasn’t …

Extremely short race report for this one – in the end it was a very solid day. It fellshort of what I had hoped for, but how can you complain when you turn in a time that is a minute off your time from last year and you had an aweful run?
No complaints – just a reminder to work on my run.
The day started off with my …
Read MoreGot a fair amount to write about today.
I had a Dr. appointment yesterday concerning my breathing issues – he felt that it was a minor exercise induced asthma caused due to seasonal allergies. He told me to try taking a claritan everyday and prescribed an inhaler to use prior to workouts. So I figure I’m going to go …
Read MoreWell this is it. The test. I’ve sent that last few weeks rebuilding my fitness after my training downshift after Arizona. How will Racine go? Will I blow away my previous PR, or will I just blow up?
After this past weekend I’m pretty confident in my fitness, I did two IM distance rides – one pretty casual and then …
Read More- I still feel pretty tired even after taking a fairly easy week last week – I'm really struggling with my breathing during training. I feel like I'm getting winded fairly easily and just not getting enough O2 – which is a pretty big demotivator from pushing hard. But I'm doing the best I can, if things don't seem to …

A bit scary that I'm riding so well in July with my target race in October – but it indicates good things for …
