Build 1 week 3 has been terminated because indoor biking has somewhat resembled gouging your eyes out with a chain ring. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Yesterday was the second to last day of Build 1. I had 2 hours planned, with 2 25min LT intervals. This was the third (hardest) week so I hadn't been feeling very good on the bike earlier in the week. So yesterday I started up riding tempo and felt absolutely horrible. I thought it would feel better once I got going but nope. It got 10 times worse in the LT interval and 10 minutes in I had to stop. This morning my legs felt really sore and they still do so I think I will just start my rest week today.

Have you ever noticed how some cyclists compare themselves/other cyclists to cars? "It felt really good to fire up the ol' engine again" or "His legs are like pistons" or "I don't have any gas" Seems kind of demeaning.

10 days till I go to Phoenix...I can't wait. I am going to visit colleges in Flagstaff and Tucson and to bike lot a lot.

This is just ridiculous:
Current temperature for Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States-4
Current temperature for Base Marambio Centro Met. Antartico, Antarctica-32

Ok, its summer for them. But still.
