Yeah so i've been slacking.

So much good stuff out there to read. Like this piece: "Triathlon is a Stupid Sport"

I know some good guys who are/were triathletes and they pretty much have said nothing different than what was written there.

Entertaining at least.

Then the other big shoe dropped is from that Kimmage guy. How much time do you have?

Because it is going to take a long time to read it. I would start with the TimesOnline article but they want you to pay money for content. I don't like paying money for content, esp if I can find it for free.

I'm sure the times article is much shorter. But i guess the whole interview is probably the better thing to read anyway. Raw data over the processed stuff. Draw your own conclusions and leave the artistic writing and design off the table.

Mahk McCormahk posted this video up on FB this morning.

crazy shit.

Maybe US Open cycling should try something like this, or really just do roller races on real rollers... not 500m pedal as fast as you can on a fork mounted fixed gear on no-resistance rollers.

I'm going to head to Casters again tonight. Hopefully Freddy saves me a trainer, one of these days I'll get a new one ordered. We'll see, for now i'm fortunate to be able to use a shop trainer to get at least one hard workout in this time of year. Not enough to built, nor consistent enough to focus on one specific skill, but it gets my HR up and the watts going better than the commute (other than me trying to ride on the bike path in the snow).

I suppose if I got the Mt Bike together maybe it would be possible to ride in on the path.

Weekends lately have been about moving snow or hauling kids around, maybe this weather will for another snowday or two on us and I can work a bit more on the bikes. Actually kind of hope it doesn't.

I need to chop the top off the snow piles around the parking spot. Can't see to back out into the street. Not ideal. The piles are taller than the mini-Van right now and extend all the way out past the pavers into the street. I spend a couple hours this weekend moving snow, widening the path to get the van in and out, but didn't really do the whole chopping the top off the mound.

Okay - instead of reading more of the Kimmage I wrote this... I'm actually debating use a branch of a tree and some carbon black and printing the damn thing out.
