Been running intense, and injured the hip, it was getting really painful, so I've taken 4 days off, going to be running tonight easy mile or two.

Decided to just buy a Visiontech integrated aerobar on the P4alu. Got it for $60 shipped which is a deal. Pretty aero aerobar, and easy to control the bike that way. The south canal TT series starts mid March, so about a month away.

Got the VISP road bike just about built now, mounted the Powertap on it last night, still need to test it. Think its ready for a trial ride, will be doing an FTP test this week.

this year

My resolution this year is to stay consistently training, go to bed earlier, obsess about the Great Race. I’m back in Sacramento, I can easily go running, biking and kayaking in this city. No excuses.

 

6 minute miles on a 10k. I need a new PR to win Eppies.

 

 

It's January and I'm racing tomorrow?

Have never done a duathlon, maybe any multisport race in the month of January before. Haven’t been training much. A few runs, ride my bike home 3 miles every day.

 

Tomorrow is TBF’s New Year’s Duathlon. It’s free: 2mi run/7 mi bike and 2 mi run.

 

Will be riding my commuter bike actually. The course is twisty, but I’m riding it because my Cervelo TT bike is in pieces. Almost done with the aero front modification.

 

My goal is to average 7:30 min/mi pace on both runs and average 23mph on the bike. That’s about 46:30, so the goal is sub 47 minutes. Not sure if I can hold 7:30 miles, but I’m going to try. Knowing myself, I’m going to try and hold 7:15 pace and see what happens.
