Hey, everybody! Here is a list of everyone who have been to the Wednesday night New City time trials, and their best time, since I started them in 2007. Remember, these are only the times that I have-they may have set a different PR at a different event. Whew! Steve Schien Name Time Year Albert Pierceall 27:06 07 Adam Newhall … [Read more...]

Kind of like Dean
August 30, 2009 By
Saturday was I was kind of like Dean Karnazes 50/50. Except I didn't run 50 marathons in 50 states. Instead I did a 50 mile ride with a 50 minute run afterward. I think you can see the resemblance... I assembled the posse, Sommers and Lawyer. We decided to ride the TT bikes to Petersburg. Eric's bike is still new, so it wasn't hard to convince him. I have got to get ready for … [Read more...]
Efficiency
August 28, 2009 By
Leaving for a family reunion in Kentucky today so I didn't have much time for training. I wasn't sure how much exercise I would get in the Bluegrass state so I was desperate to squeeze in as much training as possible this morning. I woke up at 05:15 and was in the pool by 06:00. It was dark, drizzling, and cold but the water was tolerable. Swimming in a lighted pool is a surreal … [Read more...]
Cry Baby
August 27, 2009 By
During the training races this year, I have had several feelings/emotions go through my head. Some times I just want to close my eyes and fall asleep. Sometimes I am full of laughter and grit my teeth. Today all I wanted to do was cry. The group was small to begin with and got even smaller by the end of the the night. It was kind of funny talking with Fergurson. He mentioned how … [Read more...]
Gnats
August 27, 2009 By
The field was small for the ride tonight. I'm guessing around 15 riders. The weather was perfect though (minus the humidity). It's funny, the nicer the weather the fewer the riders. Don't let the size of the field fool you. The ride was hard. I was sweating at the back most of the ride. Occasionally I would stick my sweating body at the head of the paceline only to get pelted by … [Read more...]

I’m an Ironman, why wouldn’t she want to go out with me?
August 26, 2009 By
Jokes aside, the greatest thing about an Ironman is not the food or the women. The greatest thing about an Ironman is if you finish, you won. No matter how long it takes. And that title stays with you always. Because when it comes down to it, an Ironman triathlon will only take 10-17 hours of your life. But all of these athletes would agree that the experience will stay with you forever. … [Read more...]
