Stronger, Fitter, Faster

Getting into the gym, getting on the bike, and hopefully winning some races someday

Stronger

Twelve years behind a desk does things to your body. For the first time in ten years I've started hitting a gym 3x a week but that doesn't mean I can muster too many pushups just yet.

Fitter

Lose a serious amount of weight. This is definitely key to making everything else work, so I'll be focusing on dropping pounds to get not only into a healthy range of BMI, but to also increase my endurance and fitness.

Faster

Under the guidance of a cycling coach, I'm spending more time in the saddle and riding not just longer, but smarter. Power meters, training plans, and intervals will be the order of the day.

A Ride with George

Hincapie This week my George Hincapie documentary DVD showed up and I got to watch it yesterday while flying down to San Francisco and back for a quick one-day trip. I've long been a fan of George because like him I'm a tall guy and he's always been my tall-guy-in-the-peleton favorite and he's great at the spring Classics and those are some of my favorite races to watch. I always root for him when he races and I couldn't wait to watch the film.

I'll sum up the entire review by saying I watched the whole thing on the plane ride down to SF and it was so good I re-watched the entire movie again that night on the flight home. Highly recommended if you are a fan of Big George (even if you aren't watch the trailer and you just might like it as much as I did).

(I also liked it so much I cross posted this to the Buy Local blog as well)
