Trying something new...

Ok, it is not so much what I AM doing, but what I am NOT doing... which is racing cross this year.  Feels odd, but I have some areas of my life that I neglected over the spring/summer from all the training I did.  I feel like the work was totally worth it, and now it is time to enjoy my accomplishments, and get caught upwith some other things.

I really did have a bad experience at the first cross race of this year, bobbers CX.  It was cold and crappy and so was I .  Just not meant to be this year.
Specifically, I have been working on launching a new website for my freelance video production company Dreampost Media Services.  Of interest to cyclists, I posted a clip from the 2008 Melon City Criterium.  This clip features yours truly commentating, and the "DOMinator" (dominic moraniec) winning the cat three event. I originally broadcast this on Muscatine Cable.  Check it out.

I am staying in shape, and back to my old pattern of building upper body muscle... yes, I will probably frantically try and get rid of it this spring, but I can't help looking 'normal' and possibly more appealing to the female species for a few months.

Once I get back at the cycling training, my focus will be on building the most expansive VO2max possible within my genetic limitations.   I will be using every scientific training methodolgy I can think of to accomplish this goal. 

Please excuse a slight break in the frequency of my posts. I will ramp it back up this winter as I begin training for 2011.
