fishdaddyo: Season Totals for 2008
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2009/01/season-totals-for-2008.html
Season Totals for 2008. I like riding in the rain. Finally got through compiling at the stats from last season:. Time: 21 hrs 40 min. Time: 354 hrs 10 min. Max speed recorded: 52 mph (downhill! So that's roughly 376 hours of exercise, or an average of one hour a day. So far, it is keeping the doctor away. For 2009, I expect to add a bit more running, and decrease the riding, and add in some weight training. Goals for the 2009 season. Upgrade to Cat 2 on the track. Become competent in the Madison event.

fishdaddyo: January's done, so Spring is here?
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2009/01/januarys-done-so-spring-is-here.html
January's done, so Spring is here? I officially have ditched the beard. And, the temperatures keep hitting nearly or in the 50's, so I am announcing that Spring is finally here. And, I've got a PhD in Geophysics, so that means I can control the planet. As predicted, riding down, and running up (way up). Mostly the cross bike). Distance = 300.2 miles (wow, that's like one decent week's worth back when I was a roadie). Distance = 49.5 miles. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

fishdaddyo: At what age does the awareness of mortality begin?
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2008/12/at-what-age-does-awareness-of-mortality.html
At what age does the awareness of mortality begin? Wow She's never said anything of the kind to me so far. Does this mean her innocence is slowly disappearing? Is she going to become overly cautious? Can you really forget to breathe? What should I say? I said, "Don't worry sweetie! She said, "Oh yeah, that's true. OK, thanks Daddy! Just like that. She even thanked me for providing some relief to her anxiety. So I guess fear of death definitely starts by age six. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 090520...

fishdaddyo: Slippery
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2009/02/slippery.html
Got me in and sent me out for x-rays. Above you can see the result - a small fracture of the triquetrum indicated by the red arrow. I'll find out more from a hand orthopedist on Monday. Guess I'll be a runner for the rest of February.got in 4.5 miles today after work. Didn't bother the wrist at all, so that seems like a good sign. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

fishdaddyo: Emy has the Pox!
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2008/10/emy-has-pox.html
Emy has the Pox! Of the chicken kind, that is. Poor kiddo. She's weathering it well, but going through the worst of it today, I think. Most of her bad ones are on her head, which is good (doesn't rub on fabric all the time) and bad (really hard not to scratch, and to lie down). Just looking at the sores makes my skin itch in sympathy! Luckily, we already carved her cat-o-lantern:. She'll be over it soon. Looks like it is progressing quickly, without any of the nasty upper-respiratory side effects. 080820...

fishdaddyo: WA State Cyclocross Championships
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2008/11/wa-state-cyclocross-championships.html
WA State Cyclocross Championships. Today's race was a blast. I loved the course, as it favored the power rider, but had just enough technical stuff to keep it from just being a grass criterium. To top it off, my team mate Landon won the race for the Cat 3 men, so Cucina Fresca has another state champion! Yep, that's how bad my start was - no one around me. I still need to work on my cornering, but it is improving every week. Bree said a lot of riders went down on this turn, but I never had any trouble.

fishdaddyo: Labor Day Cyclocross! No pain no gain?
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2008/09/labor-day-cyclocross-no-pain-no-gain.html
No pain no gain? I had two goals - to not get lapped and to not be last. I accomplished both goals! My left side ribs are a bit bruised, my left knee is sore, I have a gash on my right lower back, the lip feels a bit swollen (man, my mouth has taken a beating this season), and my neck is a bit stiff, but nothing's too bad :-) I'm glad I don't have another race today! But like I said, it was fun! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Hot Tea Apparel (Bree's Bizness). 09142008 - Cop...

fishdaddyo: SCC#7 Evergreen Fairgrounds in Monroe
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2008/11/scc7-evergreen-fairgrounds-in-monroe.html
SCC#7 Evergreen Fairgrounds in Monroe. The tabletop jump was cool. I didn't jump. I opted not to pre-ride, even though I was generously offered a bike to use so I wouldn't have to mud mine up, but the course looked really straightforward, so I just did a brief reconaissance before lining up for the start in the 4th row. That goal of getting up into the top 20 for a start is really my personal wall in cross this season. This weekend coming up is my last chance for a remedy! View my complete profile. 09122...

fishdaddyo: Seattle Cyclocross #1 - Evergreen HS
http://fishdaddyo.blogspot.com/2008/09/seattle-cyclocross-1-evergreen-hs.html
Seattle Cyclocross #1 - Evergreen HS. Before my race, though, Emy got to do a kids race:. Unlike me in my race, she lined up at the back. But, she still had a great time, and managed to pass a few. She was a bit weirded out by a girl who crashed in the first turn around the dirt running track (the venue for the kids race - no barriers this time), and took a while to get her gumption back. As long as she's having fun, we're happy! Here are a few pictures:. Yes, all those guys are in front of me. I love th...
