So, Jeff Sklarz and i went out last night, hada few beers, some wings and some general fun and talk about Tri's and this site and such, took the train home and instead of getting a cab, decided to run from the train station to home....about 3 miles....half drunk....HA!!!!

WTF was i thinking, lol!!!

Merry Christmas from NZ everyone, 

No need for any trans-hemisphere jealousy this week, we are getting hammered by the remains of a tropical cyclone at the moment, so I'm back inside on the trainer again. Hopefully the weather will be on the improve by the weekend so I can get outside for my long ride. 

All this talk about Heart Rate training has me interested, I tired it briefly, in the middle of the year but didn't stick to it long enough to really give it a chance to work. Seeing as my goal for the year is to build a huge base for some serious racing in 2013 it sounds like I should be giving it another go. So next week I'll do the TT test and work out some cycling zones. (it's ok to do this on the trainer?) However, I'm not confident enough in my calf to run a 30 min TT yet, so is there any other way I can determine my running Zones? Or at this stage can I say that my cycling zones are close enough?

Got this message yesterday on here.  Really makes me feel good that my experiences and struggles can help others.  Might actually spur me to blog some more.  Just been in a funk lately and really don't want to put it all out there.  Guess the good with the bad right?  Keeping a blog that isn't representative of what's going on with me wouldn't be honest.

Hi Scott,

Stumbled upon your blog through this site and just had to let you know that I loved your Aug 16 post about weightloss. Great list and exactly what I needed to hear today. I fell off the wagon in August and started eating whatever I wanted and finding lots of excuses not to workout. Like you, I was a heavy but athletic kid, and I lost a lot of weight after having my own kids because I didn't want to be a fat mom. Your post reminded me that the weight I regained isn't going to come off on its own and it is totally within my control to make it happen. Also helps to be reminded that I will never be cured from obesity. Eating right will always be a life long struggle and I shouldn't beat myself up over slipping up these past few months. Just wanted to say thanks for reminding me of these things.

Jackie 

Nice Job Scott -- what to re-post the link to that particular blog post?

Good morning everyone .... 9 DAYS

I thought I would post the running tracking for my Goofy race if anyone is interested.  You can get text or email alerts, and I think it will also post on my FB page (find me at Carrie Matczynski).  I really need to learn how to post photos to FB from my phone so you guys can see all the awesome medals!!!

Trying to stay focued at work today.  Its not working particularly well. 

I'm kind of dreading going home.  I have a TT on the trainer tonight (3 minutes and 20 minutes).  I suck at sustained effort on the bike so its going to be interesting.

you need to come ride with me more

Its the alone on the trainer thing.  If I'm climbing or chasing I can sustain watts much better than in erg mode on the CT.

I'll be curious to see the results.  I think I might be getting close to the point where I'm not endurance limited but rather power limited on the bike.

so how are you going to go about increasing your power and FTP??
