I have always wanted Jan Ulrich to beat Armstrong in the tour.  Every year leading up, I would keep track of his progress, and his weight gain/loss, and always thought “this is his year.  This is the year Ulrich will return to greatness and take the title away from Armstrong”.  In 2006, they linked him [...]

Today was scheduled for a 3 mile run for my training schedule, but my boss asked me about going for a bike ride.  I couldn’t pass it up.  So I went.  We left work a little early and went out for about 45 minutes.  Not all that great of a ride, as I thought we [...]

Sorry this post is kinda late in the contest, but I just found it.  It seems as if there is a contest that lets cycling fans produce the team kit that is to be worn by the 2008 Slipstream Professional Cycling Team.  If you are at all artsy, I would check it out.  You could [...]

W1D2 had scheduled a 2 mile run or cross training.  I decided that I don’t want to push the running too much at this point, as I will get plenty of it later.  I took the dog out for a little spin.  We went for a 2.5 mile hike through the power lines behind my [...]

Today was W1D2 of the 1/2 marathon training.  I honestly didn’t think it was going to happen because of the awful weather that we have been having lately.  It has pretty much been dumping rain all day and I never thought it would let up.  I just figured it wasn’t my day to run.  But [...]

Today started off Week 1, Day 1 (W1D1) of Hal Higdon’s 1/2 Marathon Training and today called for some strength and stretching. For the strength part, I went for a 16 mile bike ride and pushed it on the ride. Probably not the smartest thing to do. I must admit, my legs [...]

I just got this email from one of my sponsored athletes/team.  It is about the Dart-Nuun Adventure Racing Team.  It was a race report from their recent race down in Australia.  Check out the version posted on their site.  Pretty incredible stuff.  They got 33 flats between 4 people in 400k of racing through 6 [...]

Today started off with taking the dog for a 4+ mile hike in pouring rain.  I decided to take her for a walk under the dense tree coverage so we didn’t get, but that did not work so well as we  were both soaked by the time we got home.  That was fine, we were [...]

Nothing too exciting today.  Took the dog to the vet, watched the mud bowl parade, only because I got stuck in a parking lot because of it, and the rest of the day has been put aside to get ready for the Penn State/Notre Dame football game.  This game will certainly make or break my [...]
