Power reading...

well sort of...

check out Flamme Rouge if you aren't a regular reader over there...

seems interesting... not the first time i've heard about consuming baking soda either...

And Molly Ivins. What politically turned blogger has not commented about her passing. Those "conservatives" who feel that liberals are an embodiment of everything that is wrong with the United States today are cheering, some quietly, others rather obviously and in your face like. Have some respect for the dead.

But of all them I like Racing Union's take. Pretty simple with two great quotes. I like quotes. I like them alot.

Some great women have Texas roots. Barbara Jordan. Ann Richards. Sadly, neither of these great politicians are with us today. Now, another one of my favorite Texans has been lost to us. I was so saddened to see in the obits this morning that Molly Ivins has died from breast cancer. A few quotes to remember her by:

"Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful."

"The first rule of holes: when you're in one, stop digging."

and also from the 'seen around the web' file Flatman's picked up on a fantasy cycling league...

coool

and whadda ya know Fatmarc is BACK! WHOOOT

oh and if ya got a good link to sort out lactate threshold that's different than the Bike Doc one from Velonews i'd be curious...

Finding your LT

• Find a flat or slightly uphill stretch of road (avoid undulations or hills)- you may also use a trainer (but this is mentally tough)
• Warm up for at least 10-15 minutes
• Ride a thirty-minute time trial with your best possible time
• If using a heart rate (HR) monitor, record the last twenty minutes of your ride. - Your average heart rate over this period will estimate your HR at LT
• If using a power meter, record the last twenty minutes of your ride - Your average power over this period will estimate your power output at LT.

Sounds like ya need a lab to do this for real tho... at least from Flammer ouge

hmmm...

oh well...

I'm just doing this racing thing for fun anyway... right?

Of course i could just buy my own Lactate tester and do the test myself...

Ah bike racing... way more work than freaking car racing... there you can just bolt sh!t on and make ya faster... bike racing motor tuning is hard fahking work...

peace out my sistahs and bros

PS
I ate that last ProBar... the original one... Fruit and Nuts ground up and smashed together... not much different taste than the others... so ontop of a packed full quart of peanut sauce on noodles i had three ProBars and one massively large Fuji Apple... I need some Packzis to balance all this good for you food...

PPS
Pemmican Bars... i finally remembered to search them...
Used to LOVE eating them from the whole foods (they had the name long before wholefoods did, fwir) in gig harbor back in the day... might have to see if this wholefoods up here stocks the bear valley products and the Pemmican bars in particular...
