Sorry to both of you who actually read this blog. Its been a tough couple of weeks to try and find something imaginative or informative to write of.
My fitness is progressing ok. I spent the weekend slogging through almost 100 miles of racing and burning close to 2000 calories in the process. I guess I could get very analytical and give you a reading of my HR profile during racing, but that would say nothing about how the stage race actually went. I was happy with my performance, and I think I have learned and re-learned many things.
1) Recovery is just as important as hard efforts
2) The absolute intensity of training/racing is more important than the miles.
3) The mental game is far more important than things I spend more time thinking about like, equipment, esoteric diet methodologies, and to a large degree tactics.
Nothing earth shattering here. Some killer recipes coming soon with Sausage, like Merckx sausage and sauerkraut. (Mr. Moltini would be proud).
