Imagine how much faster you'd have been if you had bought the Cannondale Supersix Evo instead of that outmoded Cervelo.

You buy a new TT bike. You hope it will make you faster. The first race out with the bike you set a TT PR for average speed. I spent some time in the gym this winter, mostly working on lower back strength / core strength. And I'm no gym rat; I had to force myself to go. Maybe 20 sessions of 40 min each. And I did some time on an indoor mountain bike park while there was still snow. Result: my peak cruise speed (the max speed I can hold on a flat with no headwind without killing myself) has gone from 38 km/h to 42 km/h. And my back doesn't hurt after long rides either. Oddly though, the winter weight has NOT come off for some reason (I think I'm eating too much) so I'm up 15 lbs from last summer..... DG |

Thanks 30seconds into the song I wanted to shoot myself. Lucky for you all, I'd rather post a complaint about it here, rather than inject some 9x19's through my skull.
I made it a whole minute before the same notion came to me. Do I win something? |
It's hot here. I like it. I sweated like Whooshy in a steam bath this AM.
I get my leg ultra sounded on Thursday, we'll see how much of that clot remains at that time. My doc today said it can take several months for a leg like mine to act normal again. Oh well. Doesn't hurt. |
AAPL is up to $397 in after hours trading after another blowout quarter. That's progress.

I had two Progress moments today. First me and my pal Erich the Former Fast Cat 2 Who Got Old & Gained 30 lbs. are chatting on the (nearly empty 6:30AM) MUP. We're about to start our interval workout, the first 5 miles or so are on the MUP. We come up on this guy we've seen on the MUP before, a reasonably fast Fred. Those are the most dangerous kind. Anyway, I turn to Erich as we're about to start out interval session (about 13-14 miles of trading 2 minute pulls as if we're in a 2-man break, hard workout) I ask 'are you ready to go?' He nods. I turn to this fast Fred and say 'OK, nice seeing you, we gotta go', and I dial it up to 25 mph. I half expected him to try to grab our wheel, but when I turned around to flick my elbow half a mile later, he was out of sight.
Then on the one long-ish upgrade (maybe half a mile of 3-5%) I gapped Erich pretty hard. He's very fast on the flats, the extra weight kills him on upgrades longer than 300 meters or so. That interval session I do with Erich is great, we're good training partners, we both agree we'd never ride that hard on our own. |
No, more like that scene from "The color of Money" where the pool champ is sinking one after another to Tom Cruises dismay and looks over and says to him " It's like your worst nightmare, and you can't do anything about it...it just keeps getting worse". The only thing more pathetic than your 46 % posts on this ridiculous thread is me counting them up.

Doesn't hurt. Tomorrow night will be a different story. ~50 miles depending on route with temps every bit as high as today with an earlier ride start. Wednesday evening is the hardest ride in the area and should be pretty epic. |
