28.7 MILE ride this a.m., got away from the house about 5:40 A.M. beautiful ride, beautiful morning in Southern California. Got in 18 miles of intervals. I still feel like Ive been on vacation, a little soft a little too much pain. But I just say "SHUT UP LEGS" ! Thank you Thor for the words. My back is still tender and I may only be at 80 % where I thought I was a little further along in healing. But in no way should I not HTFU ( said just for Patrick).
Train hard, train smart, be active.

Thank you Thor? Those are Jens Voigt's words!
ReplyDeleteI hope Schleck finally found the zipper to his man suit, we need a story. Even if Contador was Ghandhi, having one rider dominate 2 grand tours in a year is boring. Was Scheck faking weakness at the Tour de Suisse? All will be revealed.
ReplyDeleteYes they are, and Thor stole them on his last sprint finish. His only stage win this year (4 at the swisse). He said he has had to battle the rainbow curse. That being the obvious National road race champ. Glad your paying attention though.
ReplyDeleteP- WE cannot deny Contadors dominance. That is no fluke, and dude is on form. Let's hope the Schleck's get over the mental crack they are feeling. Mayb they above mentioned (Jens) can bring some wisodom to youth and talent to make them dig deeper and quiet there bodies pain and there minds defeats. I for one would like to see the Belgium based team do well and redeam last years questions of 39 seconds.
I still see an outside hope for the likes of Levi. As a team Radio shack has not been super colorful, but there getting there men to the ends of the races.
UCI needs to get THEIR mansuit on and not allow dopers to ride. Why was his team invited?
ReplyDeleteHold on a second, Kovas...when in history has a quasi-potical international governing body (sports or otherwise) not f'ed something up? It's not even worth talking about at this point. To me it's as common as the sun setting in the evening. I'll take pro cycling, the Olympics and just about every other international sport with a grain of salt and just get out of it what I can. I'll keep my politics centered around laughing at Wolf Blitzer AND Bill O'Reilly. I've moved on. I have other fights. Like getting you to Oceanside.
ReplyDeleteThen what is the point of the governing body? If I suspend you and then let you ride anyway, why would anybody listen in the future? Simple as pie - just tell all teams that if any of them sign AC, they're not invited. He'd be sitting on the sideline right now. For Oceanside I need a full sponsorship package - start your fundraising.
ReplyDeletejust my 2 cents (OH SORRY THIS IS FOR THE OCEANSIDE FUND RAISER) carry on, I have no 2 cents for the other. Horse is dead, beaten, bloody. If they ever get it right I will be shocked.
ReplyDeleteKovas, there IS no point to a quasi-political international governing body. That's my point, they don't work, especially when you factor in that you also have to include the federations from the individual countries in the equation. It's one big circle-jerk. Everyone is beholden to everyone else, and nothing changes.
ReplyDeleteIf something this widespread ever happened in the NFL or in another relatively "closed" league, I'm not saying that the league's push-back would be 100% well orchestrated, but I promise you it would be more effective.
Look at the WTC, evil corporate monopoly blah blah blah yes, but you know why I think that doping is less of a factor in Ironman? Because athletes know they have way less of a chance to get away with it. Private company, final decisions from the top, done and dusted.
The only chance to clean this up is at the team level but then it's a case of who will blink first. I believe Garmin Cervelo is clean, who's next?
And as far as the sponsorship, unless the reflective sticker guy is willing to give you a free ride we'll need to HTFU your training a tad.
