Hard Times and Hard Training
Hello everyone! Well…it’s been a hectic last two weeks. I was just starting to get fit again when I found out that my team, 3 stories racing was not going to happen. That kind of hurt, as that was a big part of my financial help for traveling and for things like food and gas. B...
Oh, to be back!
Hello everyone!! I’m back from having the flu for what seemed like FOREVER! I would like to thank my roommate Justin for puttin’ up with me and giving me lots of tea, haha. I would also like to thank the 3 Stories Racing team for being patient with me w...
Source Endurance Announces SRM PowerMeter Calibration Service

As a preferred SRM Dealer, Source Endurance has now the technology and trained staff available to calibrate
Well, it’s as I thought it was. I came in to get tested on the bike at Source and my VO2 max is up there with the some of the best; however, I have the lactic threshold of a “3 week old kitten” (Thanks Derick). Not quite what I wanted to see, but g...
Test says Great and horrible
Train smart, stay fresh
Last night I had the pleasure of listening to Georgia Gould address and field questions on a number of topics at the SE offices. One theme that emerged as a guide for many of her off season activities was staying mentally fresh. She cited running as a major source of her off-season exercise ...
Going Off-road....can have benefits for a "roadie", too
This time of the year can bring some challenges for us "roadies": Cold temperatures, gusty winds, rain, sometimes even snow. When it comes down to building a solid base for the 2008 season, many wonder how to "trick" those conditions in order to keep the training fun. ...
Cyclocross is Hard
Cyclocross just might be the hardest form of bike racing. Its kind of like a points race that lasts for an hour, and one where you have go for every sprint, but you don't get any recovery afterwards. Or a 60 minute short track race. Or any running race that lasts for an hour....
Time to change it up!
It’s that time of the year again: You get off work, you’re tired and by the time you get home it’s not worth to put on the cycling gear because it’s already dark outside. What you do? Put that bike in the corner and hop onto the couch? Well, that&rsquo...
ATC its been a while
Today was the first day i rode in a pack in over four weeks. I know it doesn't really sound like a long time but try to tell my legs that. The legs speed wasn't to impressive but i wasn't to disappointed with my overall performance. I was however disappointed in the attendance of the ride this...
Back on track
Being off the bike and on injured reserve is tough. In June I tore my Posterior Cruciate Ligament and have been lying low for a while. With much motivation and a recovered knee, I set out on a cycling adventure in Europe. I bike toured through 5 countries in 3 weeks. It was the first r...
It's on its way!
So i recently made the best investment of my life and bought a SRM. I cant wait till i get it up and running. It should be here tomorrow i hope.
Like i said before the weekly training schedule still rocks and i love it, i cant even imagine what it going to be like with the best ...

Break from racing
Racing is quite demanding in all respects be it physical, mental, or social. That is why one can never take shortcuts and every detail must be ironed out. I have always been a tech weenie and naturally always made sure my bike was in prestine condition before race day. After...
Thanks That's Overdue
From my first day in Austin I have been helped by two people that I have yet to thank and will never be able to thank enough. Jack Murray and Adam Reiser of Jack & Adam's Bicycles have made me a better person. They have helped mold me into the athlete that I am becoming and sho...
A Sign of Fall
We have had our first REAL cool-down here in Austin, and it is October 22, and it is currently 55 and overcast. As I check Manitou Springs to see how it compares:
MANITOU SPRINGS:
Monday: 44° F 27° F
Tuesday: 60° F 37&de...
First day back
What a day, today was my first day to ride in 10 days, I even got a little run in there. It feels pretty good to be back on it again, I was starting to feel pretty worthless if you know what I mean. It's the greatest thing in the world to have a daily schedule. I have been ...
