Stella and I have joined the Team In Training program.  We will both be riding 100 miles around Lake Tahoe in June to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's efforts to stop blood cancers.

We'll start training with the other local riders this and every following Saturday.

Nice! I'm training for the Solvang ride in March.

This past weekend I rode 85 miles (55/30).  This weekend I'm aiming for 100 miles  

Completed one of my first goals!

Managed to crutch .3 of a mile up the street to a Starbucks for breakfast.   

I'm still chuckling to myself, I'm more winded after that then I used to be after running several miles. 

Time to eat, drink my coffee, read the paper, and basically kill as much time as possible before attempting the return trip.   

 

Keep it up.

Goals are easier to obtain if taken in small steps.   

Well -- whatever weird body failure happened Sunday is gone.

Monday sucked, I felt like I had the energy in me, but not stregth. I got the rode bike out and rode my normal distance (16 miles) but it took me almost 25 minutes longer. I just couldn't go.

Yesterday however felt great -- ran. Felt good lifting too.

Today looks like a day off -- getting held over at work for storms to pass. I guess my workout might be cutting down trees and pulling in new wire.

And a backup heat source for when the power goes out.

Has anyone started planning goals for 2009?  I worked on mine and have 10 of them.  I wanted them to be a mix of everything.  Here they are:


8. Erg a 1:50 500m. I'm pretty sure I'm close. I know I can still bang out a sub 2:00, but I don't know how much it will take out of me to take off another 10 seconds, which is why I'm being a little less aggressive on this one.

Hey, I know It's kind of an old post, But I have some advice on this one.

I was captain of my 8+ crew for a year, and can tell you that proper form will do an incredible difference to your times.

We used to have to erg 10km a day. It's pretty grueling.

First off, 70% of the power comes from your legs. Concentrate on really exploding and maintaining even pressure with the legs.

This video is really good on technique.

Really concentrate on keeping your back straight and pulling to nipple height. Remember, dont move your back until your entire leg stroke is done, dont pull with your arms until your back pull is complete.

The return is just a reverse of this, take it easy, Coming back too quickly will only serve to get you out of rhythm.

Concentrate on power, You should be fine with about 34 spm.

Good luck! Any questions, let me know!

My Jeep died, and I'm waiting for my replacement starter to come, so I have been forced to ride my bike everywhere. Luckily for me I'm only a couple miles from work. I think I'll keep riding once I get the Jeep back together. My new gps makes it fun too.

Get your ass in the gym.

Had good weather this last week.

noticed the scale moving in the wrong direction.

ran 27 miles for the week.

I hate running, but the pounds go away sooooo fast.

For 7 days that's not much time per day either.

found the shoes I like on closeout because Asics upgraded the model, so I got two pairs...one for now and one for six months from now.

So I would do a set of dips and pullups, go run, and then do a set of dips and pullups.
