Sunday Night Rant With A Beer!!

Decompression time!!!!! (Ithaca Beer Co - Apricot Wheat!!!!!!!)

Another week of training is in the books. It was yet another crazy week at school with hosting a meet on a Sunday and meetings throughout the week. The college meets are a littler easier since we do all entries done through Direct Athletics. It makes the week leading up to the meet so much more relaxing. Today we had 10 institutions competing in our indoor track & field facility. With two week till our indoor track & field championships, both team put up some great performances. We had 3 school records on the women's team and our top thrower on the men's team established himself as the top thrower in the conference in both indoor throws. The best part of the today was listening to the team support each other and taking control of our facility. It will be a fun meet to watch in two weeks.

Well, given the craziness at work, training went fairly well but I did miss my two days of lifting. I hated missing that this week. I have really enjoyed the lifting and can feel the benefits while pedaling. I also fell a little short of time goal but getting nearly 11 hours on the bike is still a very solid week. I am so anxious and ready to get outside. It looks like I may get a day or two this week to get outside. It is amazing how even a day like today when it got close to 40 that it feels more like 60 because how harsh the past few weeks have been. Yesterday, I did manage a two hour ride on the rollers but that was made easy by the ManU versus Man City soccer game. Man U won on a fabulous bicycle kick by Wayne Rooney!!! It was one of the most amazing goals I have ever seen!!

Newest riding totals:
Week - 7 rides / 242 miles/ 22.30mph/ 10 hours 52 minutes
Month - 13 rides/ 442 miles/ 22.50 mph/ 19 hours 37 minutes
Year - 44 rides/ 1485 miles/ 22.20mph/66 hours 55 minutes

This week I am scheduled to get close to 12 hours of cycling. I will get the 2 fays of lifting this week. This week is not scheduled to be as crazy with less meetings and a Saturday meet. Now Saturday's meet will be a big one with 18 schools coming to compete.

Keep training hard and smart!
