Blasting away. This week is actually pretty good. In the fact that I am doing most of my training and nothing too unexpected that threw my tender plans in pieces. I did not got the job from Wed’s interview. It is ok. I am very pump up that I even got an interview. It shows that my resume and cover letter is working :D. They email me saying they like my outgoing attitude but they hire...
Me I was reading Mike’s blog. Other than the fact that he is faster than me and probably smarter than me (he is a grad student), I understand feel a lot of what he is going through. There is a large part of me that is quite dark. I can’t explain it. It ain’t evil. It is just dark. Maybe a part of me enjoy the pain. Maybe it is because this is the same pain that I experince...
Blasting away on all fronts…Interview, teeth fixing, bike fitting, eye infection…this week all I can say is pack. I am pretty sure right now every week I am pack. But this week, it seems just a bit more pack. There is a shoe sale this Sat in a local tri store and I want to check it out. On the other hand, I told a friend I will go and help him move (9 am). It is a Saturday and it is...
Who here rides in the rain in 42*F? That was the weather today. It was cold and wet. My hands were frozen. Me and my friend rode for 30 min before I called it off. There is no need to freeze any body parts off. I have a question. Is it possible to ride in such weather? I don’t mind the cold. I just mind the wetness. I have a pair of booties on. That was magic. My feet were dry and warm. I...
One of the best run. Today I am really lazy. I woke up at 10, ate some food, then fell asleep in front of the TV watching Kate and Leopard. My bike was in the shop, I can’t get to ride. Then I woke up at 3 something. I figure I can squeeze in a long run instead of long ride. I downloaded GYGO and headed out the door. It was rainy but I didn’t really care. I just focus on running...
Rested day(?) My bike store just inform me my bike is ready for pickup. So Today no long ride for me. Going to do a long run and do my long ride tomorrow. It’s funny how the mentality changes. After I rode 8 hours last Sat, a 4 or 5 hour bike ride feels like nothing. Eye situation. I got an infection on my right eye. Need to take antibiotic (eye drops). See eye doctor again on Wed. Last...
It’s Friday… I have taken my bike to the shop for a tune up on Monday. Hopefully I can pick it up today. Today I am seeing my eye doctor. The speck in my eye is not going away. I hope I can run, swim or bike after she takes a look at it. Kewl, even though u told me not to do it, I did try using a cotton swap and take it out myself. Didn’t work :D. Training has been going hard...
Ignorance is Bliss… I have been doing some research on the route I rode on Sat. Here is one stretch that was the steepest I had ever climbed. About 450 ft in 1.5 miles. Notice there is a steep climb just before the first 1/2 mile. I figure the whole climb is about 6-8% grade. When I climbed that hill on Sat, I didnt’ realize how high it was. I just knew that’s the way I came, so...
One year older..not necessarily wiser.. Today is actually my b-day :). The past weekend I had done some normal stuff which in training we don’t usually enjoy: – hanging with the boys on thurs night having beer n wings– dinner with friends after fellowship– eating dark chocolate which my mom got from Hong Kong (good stuff) I am going to keep this short as my right eye is...
Tears of Joy.. The wind is strong. The air is cold. The road never ends. Today, I truly understand what I had put on my blog head. I have ever ridden so much hills at the same time face such a strong wind before. The title for this post should be grunt of joy. When I was out of my saddle to climb, I would grunt every other stroke. There was one hill, where I grunt all the way up. I felt like a...
