starting off good...

this week with the training. it's good to keep the body guessing on the workouts so i have been mixing a bunch of new movements into my workouts. the newest weapon has been the kettle bell. it seems to fry my mid and lower back, sides, and hips...all good for biking. Thursday has Big Gear intervals planned for the first time this off season...but i like those...HR stays low and the muscles simple burn...you can almost feel yourself getting stronger. and as for friday this week... im going to try and do the 300 workout...8 different movements with a set number of reps per move...you complete all number of reps in the least amount of sets as possible for each move before going forward...it should cook me for sure.

sunday last weekend saw me heading down to Mobile, AL do join a ride being hosted by Infinity Bikes and Herring Gas. The plan was for a chill paced 70 mile loop with an attack zone towards the end finished by a hill sprint...then a casual stroll back into to town...the ride was great. we had good weather...chilly....but nice....about 40 folks started the ride...the effort was chill for the most part but on the last hills some effort was being laid down and in the attack zone...well that was just plan fun as hell! it was flat with a tailwind...and we were moving about 27mph...i threw down an attack and knew my legs were going get me for it...and i pushed on the climb for about half of it...and then my legs were questioning me again...HR was way too high and the PE wasn't...er, back it down...

ended up being a great ride with beers and pizza afterwards...thanks scott for the ride!
