fall ride..yummy

I just updated the blog with the season's "stats"...essentially just placings in the events that were successfully rode....and then it happened. The burning desire to get out for a ride...ride I did...nothing epic...just a spin with some semi warm gear on and feeling refreshed and cleansed of the "more than the recommended dosage of red wine" next day feeling. Shower and Halloween party with the girlies :)

Shock an Awe.......

Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday....I've been spinning in the GA-RAGE.....still foggy but recently understanding the significance of this pre-season PRE-SEASON prep.

Without babbling and just ensuring I document how freakin early this shit is going ON.........aerobic threshold testing done...now understand and have a benchmark to re-evaluate every 6-8wks.

Plan...enjoy wknd...Emms turns two and Halloween going down as well. Spin Sunday evening with Molly....yup...recruited another sick puppy to bring a bike into the depths of my garage and spin to some poor 70 style music cycling DVD's....sleep time *yawn* love fridays....

Season is now ON!!!!! Winter that is

Shit........that's the word that comes to mind. My regular, no excuses...we're riding unless it's a tsunami or battling end stage of cancer riding buddy FIL, has just purchased a Kinetic fluid trainer. What does that mean? Well let me tell you...........after a night of absolute binge drinking with my brother in law and sister, hung over to the T*&$@, a text last night confirming an early morning spin session due to weather was confirmed. Early...well, more like 11 am. "IT" has begun. Now, what "IT" is...is a little sick in my opinion. We are October nonetheless and I just finished hammering "IT" out to the likes of some bad 70's spin studio music and coach troy's far from soothing voice telling me to Grind it out as part of the Uphill GRRrrrind. heartburn............not good.

Now I have to generate some short and long term goals, hence the reason for my narcistic blogging return ;) No need for being unrealistic here......Given, training has BEGUN as the season has just ended, thanks to Fil's most recent purchase, I have no alternative but to forecast greatness for next seasons 8 hour series. Yup, no 24's forecasted......most likely HANSOLO....so....one 24.....because it HAS to be done. So...what am I doing spinning in my garage sweating to the oldies.....getting a freaking insane base for top 5 in the summer 8's next season.....There.......the forecast has been tabled and etched in cyberspace stone. Top 5.........That should be realistic right?? Scheduled spins/rides will commence T, Thursday like religion and let the freaking chips fall where they may.

Now it's time for some advil and some serious whining in hopes wife will provide sympathy for my ridiculous self mutilating behaviour.
