Strawberry Mike’s Mix Recovery Drink Smoothie.

One week away!  Less than 7 days from now, at this moment, I’ll be swimming around Lake Mendota.  Hopefully on my second loop or I’m in trouble.  I love the word taper!  I never really needed it until now.  Last week, on my last long ride, I started out and within a few miles, I […]

Two weeks to go!

Mike's Mix Mike's Journal Leave a comment  

I’ve counted up the time left, 8 hours of training left before the big day!  Gotta love the taper weeks.  On my last long bike ride yesterday, I hit the proverbial mental wall, on the same location as last time, the long, boring Hwy G.  The difference?  I’d learned from past mistakes.  I knew that […]

Learning …

Mike's Mix Mike's Journal Leave a comment

I’ve learned a […]

Practice makes … perfect?

I’m not sure I’d go THAT far, but running week after week, building on the previous “success”, is making this task easier.  I can feel the progress when I go jog for an hour, and am not terribly tired at the end of the jog.  It’s even better when the next morning I’m not sore, […]
