Ok, Lowe’s, explain yourself… This sign, posted by the toilets in the Bathroom department of the local Lowe’s reads, “Please Be Careful. Product is For Display Only. Not Ready for Use.” I would love to know what prompted management to hang this sign next to the elevated toilet display.  

1 Race, 3 Athletes, 3 PR's!

Awesome weekend! I think I get more anxious before my athletes race than I do before I race. Not only do they work so hard, but they put their full faith in us as their coaches to guide them. Because of this their performances, in a way, become our performances. Well, my folks did me proud! Salmon, Flummerfelt, and Palto all PR’d at New Bedford Half Marathon, and showed that their hard work and patience over the winter is setting them up for a great season to come! Nice work, guys and gal!  

Just Like Riding A Bike

We rode outside this weekend! And we were all able to balance without the trainers holding us up! Wheeler, Tim, and I toured the south shore for 6 hours, and wrapped the session up with a 60 minute run. 6&60’s are back! Woop woop!  

Another TT, Another Snow Storm

Personally, I find indoor bike time trials to be one of the most painful tests of fitness. They’re worse than a 5k. The first 5 minutes are usually ok, and then all hell breaks loose as you try not to lose the wattage that you’ve averaged but your heart can’t seem to pump hard enough to get blood to both your legs and your brain. By continuing to pedal with all your might you force the blood south and start to see spots as a result. When you finally hit the “finish line”, every muscle, including some not generally associated with cylcing, is toast.

The alarm went off at 5:45am Saturday. In case you didnt know what “am” meant, that’s in the morning, folks! On a Saturday. Not cool! We got the car loaded up with a week’s worth of luggage for the weekend, including dress-up clothes (this is what I call it when I have to wear heels), training clothes, a stand-up fan, bikes, and trainers, and headed to our first destination: West Roxbury.
