Hey, on the bike with the big ring... it's a GREAT way to train and build strength to ride in the big ring... one thing to keep in mind though is that your legs are really working in this ring and that on race day, you want to work with an easy spin and a high cadence...no mashing... so that you preserve your legs for the run. I shoot for 90+ RPMs (count how many times your knee pops up in a minute - should be 90 or more) and I choose a gear that's just easy enough that I don't feel like my legs are straining. The real Lance rides like this - super high cadence - and it's certainly paid off for him!<BR/><BR/>Great job!!!Hollyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643256123648282064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-75739757071421894342007-06-07T12:57:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:57:00.000-04:00Ah yes-that summer-I absolutely blocked that summe...Ah yes-that summer-I absolutely blocked that summer out. Can't imagine Pop and I thinking a vacation meant all of our kids bringing friends †o the Beach. Now poor us has to go on trips all alone. Wait - what am i thinking? Seems like any beach trip for the last 5 years has been kind of the same. only adding a few rugrats tø the mix. <BR/>love, LalaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-61305663137009085452007-06-07T11:40:00.000-04:002007-06-07T11:40:00.000-04:00Hey NatYou never know what will happen when you ar...Hey Nat<BR/><BR/>You never know what will happen when you are with a wild and crazy woman.....<BR/><BR/>See ya Sat!

Jenny decided we should have code names so that the boys couldn't try to impersonate us and get in our room. I being 16 and Brent being my boyfriend I was like uhm yeah, whatever, I kinda want the boys to get in my room but you do what you want. She said well, I am going to be Fishstick. And Sarah said I want to be French Fry. And I said I'll just be Nat. This was also the trip that Fishstick stole all mine and Brent's clothes and put them in her suit case but got busted when she asked Brent to help close her suitcase because it was so packed. It is also the trip that she found a dead fish on the beach and ran around Sandestin terrorizing old people with it. Hopefully this weekend she won't make me have a code name and won't pick up dead fish but then again, I could be up for all that much more than when I was 16.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Joe. <BR/>The heat really slows me down. It is humbling but come fall when the cooler weather gets here I usually discover some new found speed. I'm getting old though so at some point the speed increases will stop I suppose. I have to assume that there is a ceiling.<BR/><BR/>Wes <BR/>Are you talking about Columns Drive or Riverside in Roswell? I am thinking I want to try out Riverside and head into Martin's Landing (bike lanes in there). I find Columns boring--atleast for running. The hills definitely slow me down but they are more fun (not for running though).<BR/><BR/>Steph-Thanks. It was super hot yesterday. But it is like 10-15 degrees cooler on the bike than how you feel running which is why I opted out of the run for the bike.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-56667830854139577732007-06-07T06:40:00.000-04:002007-06-07T06:40:00.000-04:00Great riding/running this week!
