race report...

not yet - haven't pushed enough out of the way to get going on it.

heck that's more or less three.  but three of the best races this season.

I really do want to thank those who've been supportive and encouraging and positive.  It makes a different.  A big difference.  Thank you.

okay that happy fuzzy warm stuff is out of the way...

couple good articles out there today.

One from Alex H. at Sweat Science.

takes more time to adapt to than most people expect.
Running, Cycling.  Same thing.  The older you are the longer the adaption phase (that's my thought - not from their article).

Running is pretty cool.  No bike frame to fit on or be improperly fit on.  And footwear does seem to play a big role in how your body adapts to the most efficient way to move forward.
The point isn’t that we shouldn’t do anything that isn’t “evidence-based” — life is complicated, and we inevitably have to make lots of decisions armed only with imperfect knowledge. But we should be aware of that, and not mistake our current guesses and hypotheses for “the one true way.”
I like that quote a lot.

And more cyclist targeted (but probably applies to all athletes) is the latest from Marv Zauderer over on PEZ.
Pre-Race Mental Preparation

The new commute sort of sucks, but it isn't too bad, or too much longer.  If they would just clear the debris off the shoulder things would improve significantly.  But someone here ran out of coffee. The afternoon training sessions will be pretty challenging without a tiny bit more #7.

This Otis Redding Pandora station is doing wonders for the few minutes I've been sitting her sporadically through out the morning.  Good stuff.
