Solo, sort of

Road out towards hampton with Brandon. We started with a spring like start towards Dan Casper's house, cuz Brandon had left his shoes... Anyways. Got the shoes, and a narly warm up. we headed out of town and about 88 Brandon said he was turning around. He had a really hard day the day before, so I was cool with that and just kept on trucking for another hour and half. Then turned around and proceeded to do time trial intervals of 3 minutes with the wind(made me feel fast). I got back in 48 minutes. Really fun. So I got pretty much a 3-330 ride in today. Plus I worked 7 hours at the Hideaway, and Aced a Math test. So felt good about today. Gonna lay down and die now. Hopefully I can get one of the boys to help drive tomorrow so I can take a nap... Brandon you down for that? no 90 mph speeding tickets though please.....

I realize I haven't been keeping up

Alright, so the last couple of weeks have sucked for training, thanks to school and stuff.

So Saturday was the first race for me. I got in the winning break away, and then decided that it wasn't going to make it, and proceeded to back off. Only to find myself in no mans land, and calling myself a dumb shit. Kyle, my team mate pulled out a second and I didn't do so hot. I ran out of water about the second lap and proceeded to cramp the whole third. Someone nice gave me a bottle at the feed zone and I proceeded to race on into the wind alone.


As punishment for my stupid deed. I made myself ride 5 hours Sunday. Into the headwind as much as possible.

Then today as monday. I road a 2 hour recovery/ some intervals day. Felt good. got to get on the homework. Later

So

i got 45 minutes in on the trainer tonight... I hate the snow...

Running

I had a job interview at the Hideaway this morning, so did not get to ride. And this evening it was snowing/sleeting/raining. So I decided to forgo riding, and run to Carleton and back to Olaf. It was nice, got some good running in. Oh well. But I got the job though too. So I will be working this summer at one of the coffee houses on division street. FUN stuff. I love coffee, and I get free smoothies... or what I want to do is eat the damn fruit. The hardest thing about college is the shitty fruit, we have an amazing caf dont get me wrong, but I am so sick of shitty bannana. I wanna eat berries and stuff... which they never have. Anyways, I am excited. I might actually start some time before the summer... money is money. They also seem really flexable about the work schedule, so I will probably have no problem getting to race. Lovin it.

On other news, I dont feel like I have enough of a base built up, so I am going to spend the next couple of days building a base and then I have the choir tour this weekend, meaning I cant race the home race... oh well, I dont really want to do the course that was designed to kill me... thanks ass holes (j/k) Anywho, I am going to get my base together before the next weekend. Even if I dont have a lot of speed. I just got to get my body ajusted to the Zinn, I love it, but I wanna get better. Moving on, I hope everyone is doing good.

Summary

Got the new bike over spring break. Got some riding in. I am still getting ajusted to the new bike and my body is really sore after a ride on it yesterday. Just gotta get used to it I guess. Anyways. got in 2 hours and 10 yesterday. Gonna ride the trainer tonight. Its snowing in april... yuck. Looks like the rest of the week should be clear though. Which is great I will just pack on the clothes and get some good time in. Later
