Time to rude and obnoxious to some other "newbie".<BR/><BR/>Off to Ironman Lake Placid for Sunday.

You might want to add some questions that you may have that you think might help your racing program, which in turn will help our racing program. Did a great 37 miles today in the heat after work. I am getting much stronger. I talked to Mike Magansun the author of "Heft on Wheels" yesterday by email and he related about his 50 something old friend that rides and how it takes his body a while to warm up, but once it has warmed up, man watch out. I have noticed this about my conditioning also and where I am feeling stonger as my ride progresses. I do need to work on my diet.Rickie Rainwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315426223545490980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-50449757896506883862008-07-17T02:51:00.000+02:002008-07-17T02:51:00.000+02:00Glad that Jonas is taking care of you.

That may not be a great technique, but I remembered it being helpful on my first century across Kansas. The heat was so intense doing the mountain bike thing, that I had a special rice pudding dish I made for myself which I found I could keep down before everything went Anarobic. Take care Christine and listen to Jonas!<BR/>RickieRickie Rainwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315426223545490980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-90638804069801015872008-07-15T23:53:00.000+02:002008-07-15T23:53:00.000+02:00chr: My usual style of road racing has always been...chr: My usual style of road racing has always been to be active and attack or be off the front as much as possible. <BR/>it is super cool that i can now have the guts to start doing that again compared to even a couple of weeks ago. I am so thankful for that.<BR/>Last saturday a girl said to me at the start line; "Somebody told me who you are. You used to race for lotto-belisol and you were really strong." It was nice to get confirmation that i truly was much stronger than now so i know my designs of being stronger are based on some real evidence - as opposed to my imagination. But to hear it in the past tense hurt a little. But it is what it is. Oh, and !!!!!!! damnit.PEANUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084132705399321019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-17609909599238795162008-07-15T23:48:00.000+02:002008-07-15T23:48:00.000+02:00Duvel time is 8:13???

Hope there is a cafe nearby since we should finish the race at Duval time which is 8:13pm. <BR/>By the way, I just scored an interview with Sven Nys. We should be meeting within a week or two. If anyone has any good questions, please do share.
