Pedal Harder: October 2009
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Train hard, recover harder. The biggest thing I learned from my coach at Minnesota was how to recover. Getting faster is about recovery. When you're on a rest day, you need to rest. Sit on your bum, play video games, drink a ton of water, and let your body rebuild. When you're injured, let your body rebuild as fast as it can. Do NOT ride. Sit on your bum, play video games, drink a ton of water, and let your body rebuild. Sunday, October 25, 2009. My leg is finally feeling bette...

Pedal Harder: July 2012
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. A year of change. Next, I got an amazing opportunity for a new job, doing social media and PR work in the industry. It also meant shelving racing entirely, but it was a dream job, and I wasn't going to pass it up. One year later, I've been to Whistler twice, followed a major stage race in California, seen Austin, Philly, San Francisco, and had a beer with a Tour de France podium finisher. I'd say it was worth taking a break from racing. Next post: Finding cycling again.

Pedal Harder: December 2009
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 20, 2009. Going hard on the trainer, or hardly going? A boring appropriation of a tired joke; That's somewhat akin to the actual act of riding the trainer. If it weren't for the precision of training afforded by this method, the monotony of it would surely end my career on psychological grounds. Tuesday, December 8, 2009. For Sale: 2008 Madone .52 Pro 58cm. Full Ultegra SL Gruppo. Bontrager Race Lite Wheel (Regular front, Aero rear). Bontrager Race Lite Stem and Handlebar. Since my post ...

Pedal Harder: February 2011
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2011. Where have I been? Thanks to a new acquaintance I've been reminded that I have a blog. And people attempt to read it. So here's why I didn't post after Rhinelander last year (and haven't posted since):. I did some serious training for the Wausau race in early June. I'll do a report on that later and then link to it here. Training was going well, but I needed some better base mileage to keep the pace high throughout the entire race. Once at the hospital, Kathleen was diagnosed w...

Pedal Harder: March 2010
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 4, 2010. Almost time to ride outside. This weekend it's supposed to get above 40. That means I'm going outside. Time to put the road tires on the road wheels and ride the.cross bike for a while. Maybe I'll put the CX tires on and ride some rail trails. Geof says he's riding the Hater. I hope he can turn off his survival instinct. JHK and Irmiger have a company. I would patronize were I to own my own home. My shop sponsors are having a pretty big deal race. Weight steady at 156. New challe...

Pedal Harder: Training Camp day 2
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2011/03/training-camp-day-2.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. Training Camp day 2. Today I got my ass kicked on a road climb called Wayah. It was my first group road ride in a while and I made some good mistakes. Here's a map with elevation. 1 I pulled too hard, for too long, when I should have sat in. 2 I shouldn't have even been in the lead group. I should have gone my own pace into the start of the climb. We stopped a few times on the way back to stretch (we were both cramping a bit), and then Patrick (I think that was his name) dropped t...

Pedal Harder: Training Camp day 1
http://pedalharder.blogspot.com/2011/03/training-camp-day-1.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. Training Camp day 1. Friday March 11th Kathleen and I packed up my mom's mini van with two road bikes and 4 mountain bikes and headed south to The Nantahala Outdoor Center. Near Bryson City, North Carolina. After an overnight stop in Indiana, we arrived mid-afternoon and joined the UW Cycling Team. For their annual week-long Spring training trip. Pro tip: knobby tires will help you dig through the overbrush and grab onto the trail. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
