Post IMC

Nathan — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:41:42 +0000

After nearly 10 months of training, the last big week ended on Sunday. Timing was pretty much bang on, I was hoping I could surprise myself with a better bike ride but 4 pee stops, (haven’t figured out how to pee on the bike yet;) a pretty ugly little storm and a blown spoke made [...] Related posts:

Pre-race IMC

Nathan — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:05:01 +0000

I am looking to beat the 11 hour mark and hopefully better with a top 100-150 overall finish. A lot of things need to go right with nothing going wrong to get me to the finish line in that time. Weather is looking good and so it looks like it's up to me and my bike. Related posts:

Washington training session

Nathan — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 06:12:43 +0000

Weekend in Washington. Fresh routes and fresher photos. The long ride on Saturday was good with cool temps. Fun day out on the bike, I headed out early so the traffic wasn’t too bad, but it didn’t seem to matter because the shoulders were so nice and wide. Hit the ocean and turned around and [...] Related posts:

Peak Week

Nathan — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:57:17 +0000

This last weekend was the longest/hardest ride out of the whole training period. Set it up for a ride up to the top of Mount Baker Ski resort. Ended up being the best ride to date, with about another 100-150 people doing the same ride. We started from my front door and headed south, while [...] Related posts:

Another busy weekend with the big days getting longer and a bit tougher after a 20 hours this week… I’ve been trying to come up with new and fresh training routes to keep me motivated and interested.
