• My new heart rate monitor should be in at the shop today. The battery leaked inside my old Polar and killed it. Kate’s got a matching one in this order, too. • Apparently I am perfectly suited toward endeavors such as starting my own company. Rock on. • While I’ve been jonesing for an [...]
Framebuilding. Yesterday, I made great headway on the work. I got Justin’s front triangle advanced quite nicely — I finished the hand-mitering of the DT/BB/ST intersection and got it brazed to together. All I need to do is check the alignment of the DT and take any twist out of the HT, and it’ll be [...]
Prep for the 2011 racing season has begun. The training plan is outlined, and specific workouts are planned through the Base 1 period. Spent two hours in the gym this morning before work — an hour beating the shit out of my core muscles, and another hour on the bike (S2). Same amount of time [...]
This is an update of my 101 Things in 1001 Days project. December was not as productive as I had hoped, and I know I need to step it up in 2011 if I’m going to get everything on this list done. Items accomplished in December: 2 Total items accomplished: 12/101 Percentage complete: 11.8% Completed [...]
“Why don’t you ask Napoleon how he felt about coming in second at Waterloo?” Yeah, I’ll be watching this on the iPhone, pre-race next season. And then following it up with this: Always helps to be a little fired-up beforehand. And, man, Versus is pretty good at putting these things together.
I am a terrible, terrible friend. Last night, I totally forgot MK’s birthday celebration downtown. I was eyeball-deep in getting a ton of housework done last night, and catching up on a few other things that have been stalled for a bit. What did I do? soaked bronze flux off the commuter’s seatstay caps soaked [...]
First and foremost is the framebuilding thing — I’ve got my class again this weekend, and this time I promise to remember my camera. I should have the front triangle of the 29′er completed and, hopefully, some serious progress completed on the commuter frame. I have the paint scheme figured out for the 29′er, and [...]
I kinda sorta want an iPad. As a long-time Apple fanboy, I know that I should always avoid version 1.0 of their products. In six months, the price on that sucker will come down $100, and the feature set will expand. So I shall wait. Impatiently. I got the Cervelo out for a ride last [...]
So it’s been almost a week since my last post here. I’ve been really busy at the office which leaves me exhausted at night (my prime-time for writing), so I haven’t done much here. So I’m writing this at about 6 a.m. on Thursday morning, and will schedule it to appear later today. Things are [...]
Tonight: E2 ride, 90 minutes. Zones 1 and 2 (endurance), mostly 2. Should be okay, legs are a little heavy/tired from last night. Hoping that vitamin intake, plus the creatine intake last night will help keep the muscle soreness down prior to tomorrow night’s next session on the weights. Weight goal: 175 lbs. Current: 200 [...]
