Hey Folks,
This morning I woke up with good intentions again to ride outdoors. I had my coffee and Oats and head down to the basement to do some stretching and change into my riding clothes, and then I come upstairs, look out the window and in the brief 10 min, we got 2 cm of snow...enough to make it a bit dangerous for riding...so I ended up running for 70 minutes with 15x100m race pace pickups, then I returned home, rode the trainer hard for 30 min doing the Cathy Morgan approved M2 workout. Then I came upstairs and it looked like the snow on the road was melting with all the morning commuter traffic so I hopped on the bike and rode the final 30 min outdoors to work in zero degree (celsius weather). Good for
105 points. I hope to double it up with a 40 min run at lunch and then a 40 min bike commute this evening.
Here are the updated standings as of this morning. I have hilighted in yellow everyone who has passed bronze club (500 points, and some have already surpassed Aluminium club...750 points). Peter Tye, I just noted your posting, but I had uploaded the jpeg of the standings, so I will include yours in tonite's update. By the end of the day today, we'll be halfway through this camp with a lot of training left to go.
If you are feeling tired, back off on the intensity and the volume a bit. You can really do yourself in by going overboard now...a few lighter days and you can pour it on over the weekend.
I just noticed that I forgot to hilight Cousin Elwood who is the official "tete du course" right now, but we are waiting for updates from Matti58, CPT Chao and Kus to see if the Cousin Elwood breakaway is for real or short lived. Woleai seems to have backed off a bit, perhaps saving his legs for a big push to blow the competition into the stands as he sprints to the finish....we're still a long way from Paris though....just got over the Pyranees and still need to do the Alpes and final ITT :-)
