Chop Wood, Carry Water Workouts

Not much that's exciting with the workouts lately. The Stacy Pool is closed for it's yearly repair and cleaning until April 28. Recent storms and work schedules have meant that I've spent most of this week in the gym on the bike and the elliptical. I call these the chop wood, carry water workouts. Usually, they're boring, but a necessity to maintain fitness. Check the Training Schedule and Log for more detailed information

Yesterday ended the rest period from the Freescale Marathon. My knee is now feeling good enough to start adding miles onto the Tour de Cure and triathlon training programs. I'm still building the aerobic base and the miles will increase dramatically next week and up until the taper for the Tour de Cure on May 21.

By sponsoring me in the Tour de Cure ride, you will be able to participate in the weekly surveys. These surveys allow you to determine my training, from zero miles and eating chocolate pie to eating like a Kenyan with corn, rice and beans on the plate and cycling 100+ mile weeks. Your sponsorship also gets you a say in what I wear for the event, from traditional cycling apparel to modified scrubs or even maybe an Elvis cycling outfit.

By the way, Travis is in training this week. He has his annual Buda Weiner Dog Race next weekend. Last year he over trained so this year he's taking it slow. When you come out of the gate behind the dog in a wheelchair, the training has to be adjusted.
