This week danced between aerobic and anaerobic zones, depending on the excersize. The race to race weight has begun between Rob Hanel and I. Rob is at 185 looking to get to 160 and I'm tipping the scales at 196 with a target of 170. There's 100 bucks on the line and I think I can take him. Last years race to race weight took about 10 weeks and I was able to get down to 171 for the MCM in Washington D.C. It improved my race time by 40 minutes from the previous year. Right now, heart rates are way too high for my current run pace. Still Clydesdaling and sweating butter during the runs.

I've been using the Garmin Forefront to track all my HR beta and it works like a charm. I sync it to a beta stick and load it into the Training Center in my laptop. It automatically uploads and graphs the HR info.

Bike shopping with Grant Baron, our Chainlove programmer in the morning. Looking at steel and carbon builds.
