Busted Helmet: Rocky Lied - Banana Belt #3
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2011/03/rocky-lied-banana-belt-3.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Sunday, March 27, 2011. Rocky Lied - Banana Belt #3. Everyone thinks if they just tried just a little harder. but it's a mind trick. The body only has what it has, and if it's not enough to keep from being dropped, it's not enough. Rocky lied to us. In the end, if you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability, no matter the state of "heart". If only (if only! I had hung on up that hill the second lap. If only (if only!

Busted Helmet: December 2009
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Saturday, December 12, 2009. Athlete Types - Joe Friel. Http:/ www.trainingbible.com/joesblog/2008/08/athlete-types.html. Mr Friel, in the article above, outlines three different athlete types: artist-athletes, scientist-athletes, and accountant-athletes. It's an interesting article because I can see people who trend these various directions on the team. For the four full weeks of December, with one week nearly over, here's the idea:. Week 4: same as week 2, but with a...

Busted Helmet: December 2010
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Thursday, December 30, 2010. I had a pretty good season last year (or rather, for another day at least, this year). The one thing that put a damper on it all was my performance with cyclocross. I was terrible. Cornering was my a-specialty. So, instead of eyeing the corner, translating that into a center, and translate it back to a radius to follow on the bike, why not just actually follow the corner? Tuesday, December 14, 2010. A Bit of a New Direction. A powermeter is...

Busted Helmet: July 2009
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Thursday, July 30, 2009. Cascade. and the end of the season. Because I didn't blow myself up trying to move from 92nd place to 80th, I actually finished the stage feeling pretty good. I was one of the first to go off for the ITT in the Cat 3 field because of my near lanterne rouge. The crit was uneventful. I got a great start and was in the top 20 or so in the field for the first few laps. Then it went like this:. Getting passed - PUSH IT! The second circuit went the s...

Busted Helmet: November 2010
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Stone Soup (or how a little here and a little there wins a BAR). I never peaked, just kinda keep getting slowly stronger as the year progressed. Basically I raced my way into shape. Old school, I guess. And hills are still mynemesis. I couldn't lose weight.

Busted Helmet: August 2009
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Monday, August 24, 2009. Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/. Jeff Harwood from Ironclad and I cleaned up in the Cat5's on the track at the Team Beer Race at Alpenrose. We ended up tying for first, with the tie-break going to Jeff because he beat me in the final race of the omnium. Whatever happened, I felt absolutely comfortable out there racing. Fun, for a change, instead of nerve racking. Next stop: Cat 4. And match sprints. I can't wait! Friday, August 21, 2009. In any c...

Busted Helmet: March 2010
http://bustedhelmet.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Musings of cycling and other stuff. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. March is the season of the spring classics here in Oregon, primarily populated by one, three week race series called the Banana Belts. Don't ask; I have no idea why the name. There are bananas on the registration table when you sign in, but the course does not resemble anything like a banana. Racing is every Sunday for three consecutive weeks. You get within sight of the finish and it's a game of chicken to see who jumps first. Fourth wheel...
