The sun was out today, but there was a lot of wind. I really wanted to get outside on the bike since most of my training has been indoors recently. Once I started I could tell there was a lot of wind, but it didn’t seem that bad. I headed out toward Nederland and the […]

Completed USAC Level 2 Clinic
That was a long 2 and half days. It was all lecture. However, the content of the sessions was very good. We learned about everything from conducting an athlete interview to bio-energetics(how the body produces energy). The physiology got a little low level for me, but I was interesting content. There was about 35 people […]
At the Olympic Training Center
My Level 2 Coaching Certification starts today and I’m staying at the Olympic center today. I got in late last night and it was dark so I didn’t see much. I’ll take some pics and post them when I get home.
Long session on the trainer
After Tuesdays super hard session, I took wednesday off, with only a slight easy spin in the evening. Not knowing how much time I had for a workout during my training this weekend, I did a two hour zone 2 on the trainer. I used the gear to similate hills and vary my HR around […]
Tour of California
What a race so far, eh? I’ve been enjoying it on Versus while I do my training. I was really impressed with Levis ride up Boony Dune. I’ve driven up Boony Dune and it’s a good ascent, but he smashed it. First catching the group of 7, then putting another mintue on them, when he […]
Jolly Jug Glades
My 8year old son is becoming a pretty good skier. Today at Eldora after a couple of runs down the Corona mogul line I suggested doing the Jolly Jug Glades, at the top of Challenge Mtn. I thought we just do the top section, which is mellow for the most part. I thought this would […]
S. Boulder Creek Trail
I got a nice pair of snowshoes from my wife for Christmas. I had never been snowshoeing, and was dying to use them. I love hiking and it’s really hard walking in a foot of snow in regular old hiking boots. With the snowshoes I get a good base workout and get to see the […]
Busy busy!
The last few days have been really busy for me. I have been doing some workouts, but not as much as I’d like. When there is little time to train, it’s really important that you focus on quality workouts, so that’s what I did. On Wednesday, I had to be down the hill for an […]
Motivation and focus
I had a double workout today, Strength and Endurance. After dropping the kids off at school I headed off the the gym for a strength workout. Before the hitting the weights I did 30 min easy spin on the stationary bike. The only thing I really like about these bikes is that they have a […]
Ouch! Test day
I did my first LT Test of the season. Man,these things SUCK!. At least this early, they really hurt. I will need another month or two before I feel I can do one of these and get a good number. What I mean by this is that the first 20 minutes I was pushing to […]
