| This is a section I decided to create so I could
keep track of my training and race schedule for the 2005 and beyond
bike season. I will try and upload
data everyday that I train and/or race. Feel free to send comments
to me by clicking here. |
| 3.6.2005 - Went up to Dahlonega and did 3 GAP today with Andy,
John, and Eric from the team. Felt really good doing it so early
in the season. Never cramped and my breathing was good. Just wish
I had more strength and weighed a little less. |
| 3.5.2005 - Rode the 42K Brooks Road Race course with the entire
team. It is a flat course with a few small climbs. We should do very
well on this course. |
| 3.4.2005 - Took a quick spin with Darryl. Nothing to exciting. |
| 3.3.2005 - Rode the 25 mile loop with neal and boy was it fast:)
We seem to ride well together. |
| 3.1.2005 - Pain in my right foot. Almost seems like the same injury
as the left foot from a few weeks ago. Will rest until Thursday and
I am backing out of race this weekend and concentrating on Brooks. |
| 2.26.2005 - 50 Mile meehan ride with some of the CAT 5 team. We
got a good paceline in for a few miles. We should be fine on flat
courses. |
| 2.25.2005 - 35 mile loop with Cat 5 team around Duluth. Good to
see where we stand. |
| 2.24.2005 - 25 mile loop around the house. Nothing too fantastic. |
| 2.22.2005 - Rode my 25 mile loop around the house. The best I have
felt on my bike since last season. I think things are starting to
come back around for me. The stregnth is gradually coming back thank
god. Going to try and ride tomorrow as well. |
| 02.19.2005 - Rode the 50 mile ride from Meehan's in Vinnings today.
Most of the team showed up and boy was it fast. I kept up with the
CAT 3/4 front group for about 25 miles. Then hesitated in the back
of the paceline and they took off like a freight train. Made myself
sick trying to catch up and was stuck in no mans land until I got
picked up by the next group. It was a cold day to ride. |
| 02.18.2005 - Went and rode 25 miles yesterday. It was probably
the hardest 25 miles I have done in a long time. The wind was 15+
MPH
and it was COLD! Plus something kept rattling in the front end of
my bike that was distracting me. Shawn at cycleworks figured out
that it was my valve stem:) Will be riding with the team tomorrow.
I guess this will show me how my fitness level is so far.. |
| 02.16.2005 - Finally got out and rode with Neal from the team.
I am not ready for next weekend so I am backing out and waiting till
the last of the 3 Greenville series of races. It is amazing how fast
you loose your strength. |
| 02.15.2005 - Another boring hour on the trainer tonight. Thank
god for the iPod. |
| 02.14.2005 - Stayed on the trainer for about an hour today. Seems
like it is helping. Can keep it in a harder gear longer. |
| 02.13.2005 - Today I was finally able to walk without a limp and
decided to get on the trainer. Foot is still in a little discomfort
but stayed on the bike for a little over an hour. Will try and ride
on the trainer again tomorrow and then take the bike out for about
35-50 on Tuesday. I am going to try and ride at least 150 miles this
week. |
| 02.10.2005 - My left foot is in a lot of pain today. Feels like
I tore a muscle in it or something strange like that. I will stay
off the bike today and tomorrow to prepare for Saturday's ride with
the team. Hopefully it will feel better by then. I am really looking
forward to see if I can keep up with the team riders. |
| 02.09.2005 - Rode an hour on the trainer. Felt good to be
back in the saddle for the first time this week. |
