What to say...
*shrug*
the team's ITT series starts today. Yes it is a Tuesday one, 6.7 mile rolling loop. Finally found one mention of my times from last year:
Oh and I rode a 17:45 today… knockin 22 seconds off my previous time… and my HR was way up there – a good sign…
Pretty sure i got down to the 16s on that course last year. Dunno tho. Won't have a chance to try it today. Maybe next week? Nope gotta go to wrentham to meet up with some folks... kinda means no 'tuck for a while either?
Oh well...
New Tool Box entry at PEZ
Giro... I was geeked to come in and watch some RAI italian coverage... damnit... farking REST DAY? WTF?
Got a gwadzilla-esque photo series coming soon... but this might be about it for mr mental gridlock...
maybe it is time to let the stuff slide... chill for the rest of may and first part of june and then start building again in july for cross season...
This commute isn't really insignificant mileage and seat time...

So if I'm translating this correctly, instead of just taking a rest week to regroup, you're going to bag it for the season?
Stop chasing innocent people on the bike path and letting your stupid power meter turn every ride into a weight lifting session. You really need to get a decent book on training and read it over.
no... i'm just looking at the calendar and seeing that i'm not going to be racing anytime soon...
yeah... maybe i should just get said book...
maybe zoo's read all his books and i can borrow them...
I mean look at the calendar? This weekend? Ain't able to race.
Next weekend? Oh that's memorial day... ain't gonna be getting out then... Then what? Auburn? too far for this weekend warrior to get to...
Then the 9th/10th is out, the 16th/17th is out and well that puts is square at the end of June. And since i ain't doing Fitchburg... I dunno.
I ain't in a good mood to be planning shit right now... seems overwhelmingly absent of excitement to look forward to. Part of me being too fucking negative, not positive enough.
I didn't chase anyone on the way home last night, nor did i chase anyone today.
But i did notice that my HR hit 178 on the way in yesterday a full 8 beats higher than thursday... big indication that i am/was (i still am, esp mentally) tired...
meh...
Look at the bright side. You can structure a training program unencumbered by race schedule considerations.
Most race venues have plenty of trees you could tie the kids too. The Stafford Speedway race on Memorial Day Monday even has grandstands.
did i read that right? Solobreak finding a bright side to something?!
I am like a ray of sunshine. Don't confuse being straightforward and realistic with negativity. It's a tough sport in a tough world. Sometimes the truth doesn't sound all that rosy. Bike racing is the most fun you'll ever have being miserable.
Hmmm, I think I just made up an another tagline for negacoach...
