again

My head is down and my eyes are forward watching my feet turn circles in the mirror in front of me. I use the mirror for that reason. It gives me something to look at when I look away from the computer screen and the mountain that I ride towards yet never arrive at. The [...]

Dialing In

I have been processing and processing the mental lessons from my visit to the Wizard last weekend, as well as the physical. One of the big things we changed were my heart rate zones. We adjusted them by just a few numbers based on the testing we completed. Then Jesse tweaked my bike position ever [...]

The Cliff Notes Version
