Ray's Racing Adventures: July 2009
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. The new busier me. Well I am signed up for college once again. Its only been what, 19 years since I was a college student? Textbooks are on the way and I already received my first tuition bill and boy oh boy was that a shock! I started a new job that was offered to me on a bike ride no less. Its hard, dirty work and a far cry from my last two "desk jobs" in sales, but I am darn glad to have it. Links to this post. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. I told him I am not yelling, just saying....

Ray's Racing Adventures: It gets easier
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2009/12/it-gets-easier.html
Saturday, December 5, 2009. I studied most of the day. When I wasn't studying I ate a wee bit too much. I made bacon and a cheese omelet for breakfast and baked potatoes with cheese, sour cream and butter for lunch. I think I am making up for it with a salad for dinner. Though me thinks some dessert may be in order. OH well, its a weakness. Now the question is when do I start ramping it up? Some beer, food if you like-what else! Page when the first one will be. And everyone who doesnt train with powe...

Ray's Racing Adventures: Choices, Self Loathing and More
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2011/08/choices-self-loathing-and-more.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Choices, Self Loathing and More. Did you ever have the opportunity to hear "that guy" who makes all the decisions, compromises, sacrifices that makes his life the way it is and then still complains when things don't work out? I call that the ole cliche of "you make the bed, you sleep in it." I really despise that guy, hence, therefore I must hate myself cause I do it all the time now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ray's Racing Adventures: November 2009
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. When I was in Chicago this summer at the USA Cycling Cat. 2 coaching clinic I met one of the other coaches who trained junior triathletes. He was quite loquacious, but the one thing I remember most was that he could always tell children who trained (especially ran) with their parents. He could pick them out because they ran slow. And hm, hm, Carbon Racing. To pick up for regional racing. Sort of thingy, but I assure you it is not. Links to this post. Thursday, November 19, 2009.

Ray's Racing Adventures: March 2012
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 20, 2012. A hardly winter equals fit dudes in March. 70 miles.70 miles.70 miles. But I line up with 56 other riders and as the neutral roll out is over I am in the top 10 and immediately cover an early break. Now I am feeling that groove, but when we hit the wide open road that has a favorable cross/tail wind good feelings are gone. We are flying and it we don't let up. The first hour of the race goes by and we have covered 26 miles. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hello fe...

Ray's Racing Adventures: Slow
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2009/11/slow.html
Thursday, November 19, 2009. I have been intentionally putting on the brakes. I have pretty much let all the "race" fitness go and have traded it for longer endurance rides and cross training. But I have tried my best to have a no junk miles policy in place. No junk miles means I try and ride easy, but at the top end of endurance pace on the flats and downhills. And surprisingly that pace after 2 to 2.5 hours is quite tiring. The plus is that I burn more calories then if I didn't pay attention.

Ray's Racing Adventures: September 2009
http://raysracingadventures.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. Ok, I'm scared. Of this dude. Steiner gets this crazy ass look in races too. Is it the beard? If so I want that look. All I ever look like is "I'm dying.". Links to this post. One hard ass race! I was acclimating to the technical stuff and trying to be fast, but conservative and remembering to use proper technique. In the end I was just cautious, but I got away without any crashes and after last Thursday that was a good thing as I was still sore to the touch in spots. Catching...
