Alright. i'm back. i know that i have been gone for quite some time, however i have not forgotton the password here so it is within reason. lets get right into it....
The training. it has been going very well. i have 80 plus hours of base in during March and i am now working on speed. the few workouts that i have done have been quite impressive, i seem to have great speed, much like last year. in that respect i am greatly pleased. the trans iowa race is about 2 weeks away and i know that barring problematic weather, i will finish. the tough thing will be to transition to a 2 hour fast race the week after. i do not expect speed until mid to late may at the soonest.
The expo. i spent some 30 hours at the 23rd annual wheel and sprocket bike expo selling road bikes. it trashed my legs and the hamstrings were full on bitching. there were a lot of people that i have not seen for some time there and it was all around pleasurable, despite the legs. so i skipped the three workouts i was going to do in the name of helping Jesse. if you need any bike supplies, see Jesse at the North Shore Wheel and Sprocket. www.wheelandsprocket.com
The Volvo. i flushed the transmission and i have the ABS control module out for repair. hopefully i will have it back in service by the 20th.
