Generally I try for 10 hours on the bike per week. Up until this week, last 2 weeks were great totaling 11 hours and 13 hours.
This past week did not go well for training. A total of 3 and a half hours ridden. Mrs. J-No was ill and life in general got in the way. Big picture wise, not a big deal. Arrowhead is 6 weeks away, plenty of time to ramp it up starting with the Tuscobia 150 on Fri.
Speaking of Tuscobia, I was on the fence about doing it. A lack of fitness, poor work scheduling, and poor nutrition saw me struggle to complete it last year. Although the training hours have not been up there, I hope that better race day execution will see me through a stronger finish this year. Looking over the start list it looks like Tri, Andre, and Farrow should be up at the pointy end of the race. Notably absent from last year are defending champ Buffington and runner up Bill Shand(tie with Andre). Tri is upgrading from the women's race that he won last year. Farrow is looking to settle the score after a non finish last year that had him reaching for his revolver to end it all. As a bonus, a weekend with Farrow and Tri is always entertaining.
In other notable news there was some discord in my riding family. Buddy A ordered a new bike to replace a stolen one. Naturally we oogled over his choices and offered multiple compliments and virtual high fives. He innocently forgot to mention the new bike purchase to his wife. It's happened to all of us. Buddy B told his wife who mentioned to buddy A's wife about the new bike during a play date. A definite violation of the Bro Code. Read more details HERE.
In non cycling news, the basement finish is wrapping up. I hope to have some pics up next week.
