If You Don't Know, Now ya Know

Cheq for $67 cleared today.  Looks like I'm in this year.

Awaiting the Spring

After weeks and months of a brutal winters' past, I am hoping STRONGLY that it's over after seeing temps struggling to hit 60 degrees as a high. I've been in sort of a funk being very frustrated over the lack decent weather and with the sea otter on 34 days away, I need to get my shit together and fast if I am going to have any shot at coming home with this beauty.
This week was an off week of sorts with a scheduled decrease as a transitional period. Next few weeks I will hit it hard again maybe outside!!! I am beyond ready for May, June and beyond. So far this week goes as follows

Monday: Weight and Core Training
Tuesday: 1 Hr Hill Sprints L6 power 90+ RPM
Wednesday: #1 2 Hr tempo ride 2x20 minute sustained efforts
#2 1 Hr 20 minute TT max effort
Thursday: 2 Hr at a coversation pace
Friday: 1:10 Hr optional ride
Saturday: 5ish hours to tomahawk
Sunday: 6ish hours back to wausau with extra credit moon loop

This should get me started

It's Official I am pissed!

Okay so first we have A-Fraud (Alex Rodriguez) on tv every hour on the hour and so I am sick of that (Strike ONE) he should be out of baseball for 2 years just as any cyclist would be.  Work changed my schedule giving me notice of the change exactly 1 day prior to the new format in which makes me angry cause they require us to give a two week notice for a single vacation day. (For those counting at home that's TWO strikes).  Finally (Strike THREE) I find out it's going to cost $280 or more  to get into the 24 hours of 9 mile.  Looks like I'll be shooting for 12 solo and that's not even a good price either at $60 (WEMS charges 35).  Shout out goes to GG Series for screwing up a great grassroots event.  Maybe I can go back to the college days and sell plasma again for race money.  Hmmmm I wonder how much jiggalos make...scratch that I'm married.
