Yeah, that's crazy, because he's not a large man. At 183 lbs, I hit 535 for 2:50 once. Once. And I was completely fresh and warmed up for that specific effort (climbing Jester here in Austin). To pull that off with 15% less weight, most of a week into a stage race, in the middle of a stage, well 
... 
I hope you get your end of it sorted smoothly. Keep it up with the riding.
... Finally got out for a ride today after weeks of not riding. Kind of depressed with family stuff that is very bad. The very bad is not with my wife and kids, but with a sibling. For a change my wife was telling me that I need to go out for a ride instead of her complaining that I ride too much. She was right. It was awesome. I had two hours of not being depressed.

Got shelled at the Tuesday Night World's. My fd hasn't been working too well which isn't a biggie in the flats but once the climb flattened I couldn't shift into the big ring and keep up. Once settled in I caught some dudes, but still way off the back. Shouldn't have gained that 10 lbs during my vacation, but damn those donuts in Portland were good.

2 of my five sprints today surpassed previous best numbers. All 5 were within range of all time bests. I guess that's good.

Fast group ride yesterday. Kept the pace at 23-25mphr for 15 miles, took a short break where my coworkers make a u turn and head back to the office. Finished the other 10 miles home with 10, 25 sec all out sprints.

Currently on a 1 hour a week schedule. At least the hour is a race.

Tuesday night worlds last night. Felt great and was able to push it. Bit of riding before and after put me at 3:20 and 274 TSS.
Last week I was getting dropped and this week was so much better - Hate the ups and downs.

bagh...I need to get it together. Every day around lunch I go out to eat or run errands. There is a decent Cat 2 that works in the office next door and just about every time I leave in my car or on foot he heads out on his bike for a ride. Need to start bringing the bike and taking advantage of that time and open road.

I went out for my lunch ride and wanted to climb prior to hamilton. Worked well. Was beaten up the hill, so that shows I need to be conservative. Set an all-time PR, so that shows my training is still working.

By working I mean every time I end up being dragged up the damn thing by some silly group ride, I try.
