When it comes to training, I am ALWAYS talking about the weather. It determines where you are going, what you are wearing, and sometimes how hard you can go.
Take for today: Another bright and sunny 45 degree day. Is winter over with? It IS January 18th, right?!?!?
Well, coincidentally I had to bike for 90 mins today so this is one of those days that I call PERFECT. There was no need to time trial anything so I brought out the road bike. Its been a long time since I rode over the border into ritzy Greenwich, so I went out onto one of my favorite 26 mile courses:
I just cruised nice and easy. This course is so wonderful because it offers rollers, some steep pitches, and some nice long flat straightaways. Not to mention a number of $10 million dollar houses. There is a $95 million estate available a mile from this route if anyone is interested!
I also want to give a shout out to Kevin @ ironmanbythirty.com for hooking me up with this totally kick@$$ google calendar (almost) widget.
Check out his site and send him a comment if you want instructions on a how-to to get this going. I use this blog as my training center and I am constantly looking at my calendar to see what I have to do currently and in the near future. This calendar widget just made it 100's easier and clearer. I *heart* Google!
I'll refrain from negative comments regarding your awesome weather and just say awesome widget, I think I'll be yanking the idea as well...I need to be held accountable!
ReplyDeleteHi little bro,
ReplyDeleteI want to see Greenwich and the 10 million dollar houses! Looking on you map there appears to be a ton of country clubs on your route. Very cool!
Have a good day Jon!
Nifty widget! BTW, I got Yaktrax and used them for my hike, loved them! You wrote about them recently right?
