Thursday was Erika's birthday and we went to 6 Flags Great adventure. It's been a while since I was at an amusement park. It was fun and nice to spend time with Sena, Erika and her boyfriend (Rachel had school). I took the day off of exercise - good thing because I ended up doing all the driving and there was plenty of walking around, roller coasters, and standing in line in the sun.
Dave, Erika's boyfriend asked me what I think about during all those hours of training. Hmm, good question. A lot of the time I let my mind wander, sometimes I just try to focus on form, usually I think about what is going on in my life and the life of Sena and my daughters. I often come up with endorphin induced eureka ideas that I typically forget or they turn out to be pretty lame ideas after the endorphins wear off.
Dave is studing physics down at UNC Chapel Hill, so I posed the 650c wheels versus 700c wheels question to him. His initial view is that 700c would be the overall more efficient wheel, but he would really need to think about all the factors - we'll see what he comes back with.
Today (Friday) I drove to Valley Forge / Betzwood trail and did speed work 8x800. Turned out pretty good - still not as fast as I should be - I felt pretty solid, but later in the day after sitting at my desk all day, my hamstring was really tight and sore.
On my way home, I stopped by the Upper Mainline Y and did a mile in the 50 meter pool. It was tough getting used to 50 meters, but by the end of the workout I felt pretty strong.
