hello enduro freak fan.
not much going on today, just wrapped up another long day in the saddle getting ready for the 8 hours at round top this weekend in PA then out to PA again next week for the wilderness 101. should be good to get in some more races and long mileage.
heading out friday with dan the man to PA to pre-ride the 8 hour course. nothing special with the bikes - just running normal setup, though i may be putting on some new tires for worlds. been running the schwable little alberts which seem to be working awesome, but they are a little soft and tend to wear out pretty quick. definetly great race tires, but i would go the more el cheapo route and get something else for day to day training.
speaking of which - been riding the vicious a lot lately (the one i rode at trans iowa). rode the k monkey a lot last year in my training, but the vicious is setup a little nicer for the long rides and the k monkey needs some TLC that i don't have time for.
the tour - pretty amazing. discovery with mutiple stage wins - really hoping lance pulls off the time trail win coming up in a few days.
speaking of time trail - i did a one hour time trail today on the vicious. she was flying. i have about a 20 mile'ish route that earlier this year before big bear that i beat my personal best time by over 6 minutes that i always do -- i was super pumped that day. well - today i just beat my personal best time again by 3 minutes. just pumped up that everything seems to be coming together really well this year.
and - did you see my fancy web page editing that i just did? added some more sponsor links and even the hammer link with an image. ewww.... i am so smrt. oops. i mean smart. ha, ha....
hammer stuff i use - heed, hammer gel, sustained energy, anti fatigue caps, endurolytes, race caps and mito-r caps. good stuff - gets me through the toughest of training days and races and doesn't upset this delicate flowers stomach.
gotta run - pretty beat down and i need some rest. one more post before round top and then the next post will be the race recap.
oh - and wanted to give a shout out to all my pals out at superweek -- may you have good legs, huge lungs and stay upright. pro/1/2 - jim b and paul martin, and in the 30+, tris hopkins and brian b. rage on with your bad 'selves.
sologout out.
