Long rides.........

Did 7 hours on the spinner this morning. My longest ride this year- building up for RAW. Need to continue working on nutrition and fluid intake. Legs felt good- will do an 8-10 hour spin in two weeks...

Chiropractor...

Went to a chiropractor today- seems I have been favoring my left leg since the knee surgery back in October - and that seems to have things thrown off a bit- causing some lingering minor pain in my hip and thigh (though I have not missed any training)- but it was worth going in today to start a series of adjustments. Lets hope they work...... did a nice 2 hour spin this evening also...

RAW Training update

Just finished a 3 hour spin on MLK day. Training going well. Had a light week last week do to work travel to Poland (this was also a scheduled light week in my training blocks) Will now increase for three straight weeks before another light week due to a trip to Mexico (business/pleasure) Will be at about 320 miles per week by mid February. Heading to 500+ in late April through May ahead of RAW starting on June 17th. So far the knee is doing OK- sometimes cranky, but holding up for now.

Indoor century

Training for RAW continues- did a 6 hour indoor session today of approximately 110 miles. Knee felt OK the entire time- and after icing and stretching afterwards, still seems to be OK. Hope that streak continues. Did about 220 miles for the week. Next week will be a scheduled light week for recovery.

24 hour bug......

My 5 hour session this morning was cacelled due to a 24 hour bug that I picked up. Will take Saturday and Sunday off and resume training (regular schedule) on Monday the 5th.
So far, 12 solo people have signed up for Race Across the West.......

Race Across the West Registration

Happy New Years to everyone.
Yes- I have done it- and committed to the Race Across the West by registering this morning. Only 165 days to the start in Oceanside CA on June 17.
Training is going well- though I am cautiously optimistic about my left knee with the increased training that will be needed in the coming months. Will take it one day at a time.
