It's The First Race of The Year!

Time to "shave and taper" right?

Well, not quite.

How about 250 miles on the bike, 45 miles running, and about 6 miles swimming to loosen things up before the race... sounds about right! This is not a priority race but I do have two objectives for Saturday: #1 Don't get lost in the pool again. #2 Run my 5k in the same or faster than last year's 18:28 (5:56 mile) even with 45 miles in my legs. I did have the fastest bike split last year but I am thinking since I haven't ridden outside in 2 months that may impede my bike handling skills, and I'll be using my powertap training wheel for data to set my training zones for the next two months leading into Ironman Texas.

Speaking of Ironman Texas, I guess I need to find lodging options... I suppose the host hotel is full???

Clue #2 .821

Here's a look into my life. This is the Commander's mini beagle, Torbjorn (I chose the name, she chose the dog) and this is her baying. So if your curious as to if a mini beagle has a mini bay... here's your answer.





Keep your yard maintenance tips to yourself... My lawn keepers start next week!

You better rock it or your FTP training zones will be all off for the next couple of months.

Neighbors love that shit, trust me. I had a beagle for a while, the neighbors still don't even look my way when I walk by.
