a party, rest days, and back at it.

Saturday February 14th:
I was supposed to ride 2 hours at 138-160, but instead visited my grandfather in Antigo, WI for his 85th birthday party. It was totally worth it and I had a blast. I saw a cousin who I haven't seen in three years or so, and my grandfather is one of my favorite people in the world.

Sunday was a scheduled rest day. Oh, unless your name was Fabian Cancellara, then it was GO TIME!

Monday I had a LONG day at work, but the 45 minutes at 138-160 BPM felt good. I stretched and did 100 sit-ups. Something is happening with my stomach that has never happened before: it's looking toned.

Tuesday, Fabruary 17th:
2 hours at 145 avg. and a high-cadence workout.
My legs felt good, my head was in it, and I stayed hydrated.

Food: french toast, American fries (yeah, I know, I know), coffee, Penne Rose with Feta, Oatmeal squares, chocolate soy milk. Tons of water.



I had a health screening for my insurance today and didn't realize they were going to draw blood. For those of you who wonder about blood donation and cycling: read this article. Now if I could find out if my planned tatto will give me any problems.



Regarding ATOC stage 3: WTF happened with Cav and Gorgeous George? For as good of a job as Cervelo did of leading out Thor, High-Road did an equally poor job.



I'm ordering Avid Matchmakers for my Procaliber. If it were possible, I'd get a G2 SID WC with pop-lock. If one exists, I know where to look.
