Three Hard Days

Byjasperblake

Hit the wall today but three good days will do that.  Still feeling a bit out of whack from the back but it’s coming around.  I always find the first hard run back after an injury time out a bit uncoordinated.  Saw Dr. Guan yesterday for some adjusting and that seems to have put me back in alignment.  He worked on my right ankle for 35 minutes, guys awesome.

Hour of power

Well it’s not actually an hour and i’m not sure how much power i have but it was quite delightful.  I joined super Mel for a few hours of super fun mountain biking in the dump.  I’ve heard of the hour of power but never experienced it first hand.  It’s an 8-10 minute loop with…

Back home and heading into third week of first round of real speed/LT work.  Body is tired for sure and last week we ended up right on the bubble of being real smashed.  I will admit I feel quite wrecked today. Some good work though and we are cranking pretty good.  A wise man once…

Jeddah

In Saudi you have to adapt.  We take a great deal for granted in North America.  Riding on the roads over here doesn’t seem to be a common theme. So we head out of town and into the desert.  It’s not unlike being in Arizona really.  Yesterday we hit up an amazing network of dirt…

Great couple days in Bermuda- It’s a cross between USA, England, Jamaica and a Dr. Seuss book.  Great energy with the campers, fun to be here.
