Training in AZ, CA or TX?

Where will I be training in February? Scott put me in touch with some Canadian Pros that will be in CA. There are two opps for AZ and on for Austin, TX. At any rate I should be somewhere the last two weeks of February. Although that puts be out of town for the Jack Frost TT. I really want to win the Cat 3...

What else is happening? I had my trainer wattage workout last thursday. It was horrible. I had to back off the watts from 350 to 320 for the 1' intervals and to 290 from 320 for the 4 5' intervals. I have no idea what my problem was that day. BUT, the next couple workouts were good including my swim of 500, 5x100, 400, 4x100, 300, 3x100, 200, 2x100 were I held 1:18/100 yrd average for each set! I'm saying it now...I will be in shape to swim a 50-52 in AZ. There may be factors outside of my control, but I will in shape to swim that fast.

Working at PRC is going good. I like helping people get in the correct running shoes.

I've decided to get a new TT bike too! Just dont know what to get yet. I will most likley sell mine whole and not rob any parts. Also, I should have a set of non-dimpled 404's to sell here soon. The new blank should arrive soon and I'll have that laced up to sell.

This week started out with a good 3700yrd swim and 14 mile run. I have lots of running this week and some pretty good time on the bike too! I just wish my PowerTap would get in so I can do some power sets in some of my endurance rides during the week. I have a big gear power set wedensday during a 3 hour ride I'm doing with Bill.

2 questions:

1) What are you riding now?
2) What size is it?

I'm in the market for a new bike... I might be interested!

ALSO.... NICE swim splits! You should be happy with those at this point in the season!

Breathe...
