And race day is here!
Saison Dupont on draught!
Good morning, sunshine! Time for pre-work base miles!
It’s 5am - do you know where your competitive cyclist is?
~2 hours of base miles before work
Another base mile Sunday - watching 1998 Giro and Tour, shooting for 5-6 hours on the trainer
2 hours of cadence work on the trainer this morning, followed by massage. Plans for this afternoon? Testing my resting heart rate
Post-ride smoothie (1-1/2 bananas, 2 scoops Monster Milk). RRRAAAARH!!!
Friday dinner? 2 bottles of Perpetuem, 2007 Paris-Roubaix DVD, and my bicycle. This is what happens when my better half is out of town
Best way to start the morning? 10x100m sprints on the track, 2x10 box jumps, followed by scrapple + maple syrup for breakfast!
Behold! The most dignified dog in the world
Only things keeping me awake (not pictured, SLAYER!!!!!)
Insomnia sucks. Have been awake since 3. Currently trying to decide if I’m going to the gym as I’d planned.
Back on the bike. 2 hours yesterday, 4-6 hours today
