I haven’t posted much since there is not much to say this time of year. Last weekend was another good weekend, a 3-day one at that due to the President’s day holiday (yes, that is one of my 10 holidays at work).

Saturday was a good group ride out of the shop (RB’s). A solid crew of about 10-15 rolled out to the cat pee store and back. During the ride, I felt pretty good and took some fast pulls coming back in.

On Sunday, I decided to bag the Outdoor’s ride since it was still sort of raining when I would have had to leave. Instead, I rode out from Germantown with Andrea down towards Mississippi. It was really, really windy (20+ mph southerly wind). Her plan had her doing 20 minute LT intervals… That wasn’t on my plan, so I hung back and did some sprint work (standing starts and rolling sprints). On her 2nd (and last) interval, I decided to try out an effort… after about 8-10 minutes, my HR was only 163-164 (my LT is about 173-174). So I sat up…

Monday’s ride was an easy ride except for blasting up the Memp-Arlington hill eastbound to Canada road. I liked so much, I did it again.

The last thing is my weight is stabilizing at 166-168 pounds (morning weight). Last year at this time, I was nearly 190# and didn’t get down to < 175# until after Memorial Day weekend.

I fitted my Cannondale cross bike with road tires for the summer / trainer bike. This morning I rode it on the rollers for 10 minutes… very unstable, but I was able to do it (I am just learning rollers this winter). It must have to do with the ‘cross geometry…?

Still waiting on my new Felt frame. I can’t wait to build it up!
