Closed out the month of September with a nice metric century down to Jensen Beach and back. I felt incredibly strong today, my legs were electric and I had a ton of pop. I hope this form holds up, since next weekend is the Tour de Vero.

Training Ride 9/29/12
Hey all. Took the TT bike out today to try a 40km simulated time trial. I've never done one at this distance and as this is the measuring stick for time trials I needed to do it to see how I am. I finished it in 62:51 which is about .3mph off a one hour pace. The goal is to break an hour so I'm not satisfied, but I'm not disappointed either.

Training Run 9/28/12
Taking Monday off running was very clutch, because the soreness and knee pain that was starting to creep in was totally gone today. I guess even machines like me need to take breaks.

Training Ride 9/27/12
Another week of morning rides in the books. This was a brutal week but I'm ready for the weekend rides, weather permitting.

Training Ride 9/23/12
Weather finally improved. So I destroyed the Grant Ride and was rather happy with my form. A north wind is a rare treat.

Training Run 9/22/12
Ran my first 10k. I'm sure all you runners are laughing at my time, but I'm just happy to have done the distance for the first time.
I should also mention for the record that the roads were still wet from the rain so I couldn't bike. I am desperate to ride tomorrow.

Training Run 9/21/12
This month is flying by. Taking a weekend off to rest seems a lot bigger than it was, but we'll see where I am at the end of this weekend.

Training Ride 9/20/12
Did a few extra miles this morning to close out the week. Hopefully the weather holds up this weekend so I can get some strong miles in.

Training Ride 9/19/12
Another day where I really felt some juice in my legs. I hope I can keep this form up for a while.

First ride in a while, felt really good. Tour de Vero coming up soon, time to get the engine tuned up to top form.

Took another rest weekend for my birthday. Time to get back on track, Tour de Vero coming up soon, and I need to be close to my peak. Back to reality starting today.

Training Run 9/14/12
Closing out the week with a nice 5 miler. I have to say that I've really enjoyed running and it's working out even better than I expected.

Training Ride 9/13/12
Super stiff NE wind this morning so I took my north route. It was a nice change of pace, can't wait for the weekend festivities.

Training Run 9/12/12
Too wet to bike, so the running shoes came out.

The right way to start off the week is with an invigorating run.

Training Ride 9/9/12
Great ride today. Strong west winds (a rarity here) which made some sections easier than normal while others were much harder. West winds usually bring bad thunderstorms, so maybe a nice thunderstorm nap is in order this afternoon.

Training Ride 9/8/12
A metric century this morning on one of my favorite routes. Operating on less than 6 hours of sleep and no breakfast put a damper on my speeds, but just the fact I got out of bed to bike was a miracle in and of itself.

Training Run 9/7/12
Hello baggers. A nice 5 mile run to book end the week. I am excited for a weekend of nice long bike rides and, ofcourse, football.

Training Ride 9/6/12
Nice ride this morning. Went a few extra miles because I'm not bike commuting so I needed to do a little extra work to keep up my program.

Training Ride 9/5/12
Another strong day. Either I'm coming into really good form or that rest week I took is paying off. Regardless, I'm stoked be feeling so strong.

Felt really fast and strong today. Can't stop won't stop.

Training Ride 9/2/12
Absolute scorcher today. One of the hottest rides so far this year. I was deep in suffering by the end. But the end is here, so let me at some ice water.

Training Ride 9/1/12
Two weeks since my last ride of this length, so this was a real wake up call. My rest weekend was nice, but busting ass for four hours is nicer.
