A trip to the pain Cave?

Well it is the eve of the 2nd Annual CDMBR. What is in store for the race?
I imagine a good time in the woods suffering on the bike.
My fitness is not as high as last year so I'll be hitting the pain cave a little more than I'd like.
MEH! What can ya do? Just suck it up and go out and have some fun.
Thinkin' of rockin the Caveman race kit. But the hair is the worst for getting in the way rippin it up. What did I say earlier? Goin' out to have some fun, so I guess the Caveman it is. The only real problem I have is how do I incorporate the Lightning bolt into the get up?

I guess we will see tomorrow.

On another note, I just came across the schedual for the Southern Ontario CX racing season. That's just what I needed to get fired up and start training more seriously.


Regardless of what bike I ride or how fast I go, tomorrow is gonna be a fun day on 2 wheels. Hangin out with cool peeps and racing a great course.

Later!

Beat the heat ride.

Not too much going on here at Camp Captain lightning.
Went for a ride yesterday. Not really a ride but a training session.
Man! This heat is craptactular for riding in.
So instead of sweating my but off and suffering in the sweltering sun, I jumped on my tricross with the fixed cog on it at 12:30 AM last night and set out to pump out a few intervals.
The temp was great last night. Not too hot, just perfect for a bit of timed suffering.
But alas the heat of the afternoon sun still affected me. After just 3 intervals my legs felt dead so I called it a night.
I should be able to get out tonight again, since I feel pretty good today.
I'll probably put on a bigger ring. The 39X16 was a little too light to be a building work out. Good for hammering on the trails but too easy for on the road. Gonna put the 42t back on, then the suffering will be better.

I just bought a 1988 Mazda B2200 truck for under a grand. SO it'll be eating up a bit of my race entry fees until I get it E-tested and safetied. But it should be better than the old beat up MX-6 that just went for a crap on me.

Here's a pick of my Zanny alter ego at the 24 hours of SS taken by Jeff K.
I had a blast whoopin' it up and adding some enthusiasm to the scene.

Gotta start really training hard for CX season now. Hopefully things will be even better then last year. Starting out the year in M1 so I have some work ahead of me if I wanna hit the top 10 and even the podium.

Gotta go now.
