Sunday Tantalus & Buffing...

Last week I was feeling real good about my new pedaling style and was just waiting to bust some Tantalus this weekend...but for some reason, I felt like sh*t and ended up sleeping ALL day Saturday and 3/4 of Sunday. So I forced my self to get out and ride on Sunday, very late.

Since I was feeling only so-so, I decided to just cruise around on the flats...except, when I hit Waikiki, the Honolulu Festival had all the streets blocked for the giant parade. So...with 1 hour already in the legs, I decided to try and do Tantalus...in a SLOW 25:40!!! I should have stayed home and slept....

I felt like I went pretty hard, got up to 183bpm at the end, and the legs felt OK with the new technique...just went slow...

So...I'll chalk the 25:40 up to being sort of sick...and I'll give myself 2 more times to get into the 24's or else!!!

I've also been spending LOTS of weekends and afterwork time since November helping my brother get his ride together. Like the Karate Kid, both my brothers and I have been prepping and bondoing here - glazing putty there, sanding up - sanding down, taping hi - taping low, painting left - painting right, polish once - polish twice, etc., etc...

It's starting to look really Bad Arse...
