Test

R & R

So after yesterday's day off.. time to get back in the swing of things. So I started off today after work dropping Susan and the youngun's off.

Interlude... and this has nothing to do with cycling.... Leaving work rumor was that there was an accident on the interstate. At the Greenbrier Street interchange, there was traffic backed up. So being of sound mind and intelligence I proceed to go the opposite direction and then back track along WV 61. Well I needed gas also. To make long boring story short, this was probably an unnecessary step. Oh well I shared it with you.

Ok back to the rest of the boring stuff.

Came home jumped on the trainer, for the test. As per "the plan", this is supposed to be a Tempo Time Trial. Why is my fat ass doing this??? You find out let me know, but hey there's something to be gained from improvement right?

Well the test is simple, warm up ride 3 miles at a certain calculated Heart Rate. Mine happens to be low Z4 range (for you that want to simply know 160 to 161). Record your time.

Back on Jan 24th I did this..

Jan 24th: 3miles 7:15.5 161avg
Today: 3 miles 6:55.5 161avg

Today pushed a harder gear than before. So that was probably the reason.

Also wanted to do some weights... but Turbo Tax is telling me that I need to do something else or the great State of WV will not accept my tax return. So I shunned the weights to fix this self imposed mess.

Till next time

Recap Rest n Revise

Not once all weekend did someone ask me "why I wanted to ride in weather like
this". Those 100 orso peoples that made all or part of the ride may
not have known the answer, but a least no one asked the question. Wow
- to be normal for a bit...

I'm not normal.. or so this post says...

Thats from MBB and his ride he did for the Superbowl. I have no clue what the temp was in VA, but it was downright cold in Ona. But you can go here and check out Mike's annual Superbowl ride.

So if 100 people run and jump off a bridge, am I abnormal if I do not?

OH well... looks like MIke had a great time, and some cool pics to boot.

Sunday, for me was a short ride, then the Superbowl, where I had some friends over, Asshole, his betterhalf, Swanny, and myself and Susan. The Queen B was there also. Along with the yunguns.

The game was good, to pat myself on the back the Food was excellent. The little weenies were good too.

The game was good, I wouldn't call it great. The commercials, were not really noteworthy. But as always the Beer was excellent.

Monday was no school, Susan had some meetings for work and out of town. So I watched the yungons. Stayed home, and cleaned up the previous nights mess. Wanted to workout - lift and ride - but tired so I'm going to use this day for a rest day, and do the workouts tommorrow I think it will work out better.

So obviously it's now Tuesday, and we're on a two hour delay again.. So that is now past. Still plan to workout this eve.

Snow for tonight??

Anyone's guess.
