| 2006-01-12 | Canny | |||||
| 2006-01-14 | Canny | Hilly bike ride by Horsetooth Reservoir! Hit 52.3 mph downhill! Was going hard (esp. on way back, trying to chase down a guy) nearly to the point of cramping. Ran afterwards; though I could run it was hard to imagine trying to try to run 23.2 more miles... | ||||
| 2006-01-15 | Canny | |||||
| 2006-01-21 | Canny | |||||
| 2006-02-12 | Canny | Easy recovery ride along Overland & Poudre Creek Trail. The route is >1 mile longer than the mapped route due to going in and out of the Hearthfire subdivision. | ||||
| 2006-02-14 | Canny | Intervals with Diana: 3X 10min + 5min rest. Got gapped on the 3rd interval by about 70 feet. Diana is really fast! | ||||
| 2006-02-28 | Canny | Up and over Bingham Hill and back. Easy first half and race pace second half. Tilted down aerobars from 7 degrees to 0 degrees; felt good. Followed by run. | ||||
| 2006-03-01 | Canny | Poudre Creek-Overland route clockwise. Extremely windy and got blown off the road twice. Hit 46.5 mph on the way back due to strong tailwind. Felt okay despite legs being a little stiff earlier in the morning. | ||||
| 2006-03-02 | Canny | Ironman pace along I-25 Frontage Rd. Again, felt really good despite the quantity and intensity of training the last few days. Wonder why? | ||||
| 2006-03-03 | Canny | Rist Canyon loop, counter-clockwise. At first felt good going to the top of Rist Canyon, but totally bonked after 3.5 hours or so. Hungry the entire time despite having 1 omelette, 1.5 servings of pasta, and some fruit earlier in the morning. Need to remember to bring more than water for these super-hilly, 5 hour rides. | ||||
| 2006-03-04 | Canny | Easy spin on Douglas-Poudre Creek-Country Club loop. | ||||
| 2006-03-06 | Canny | Up and over Bingham Hill and back. No legs at all today. | ||||
| 2006-03-07 | Canny | Rectangular loop to Wellington. Very windy (too much to be in the aerobars in some parts), but felt much better than yesterday. | ||||
| 2006-03-09 | Canny | Ironman pace down Richard's Lake and Frontage Rd. Legs felt good. | ||||
| 2006-03-11 | Canny | Fort Collins to Boulder. 28 degrees most of the way and water bottles froze. Rode in aerobars 95% of the way. Need to do something about helmet, which requires me to strain neck in aerobars. Averaged 17.0 mph to 50-mile mark, but faded in second half. Too many rollers and traffic lights. | ||||
| 2006-03-15 | Canny | Over Bingham Hill and back, easy. Very windy; neck/shoulder hurt and have problems turning head. | ||||
| 2006-03-16 | Canny | 5X 30-sec sprints X 2:15-min rest. Could not do 5th sprint. Both lungs and legs maxed. Country Club->Terry Lake->Douglas | ||||
| 2006-03-17 | Canny | Fort Collins Horseshoe 100 self-supported ride. Rolling, and had significant hills in the last 14 miles, but felt very good at Ironman intensity. Ran afterwards and felt phenomenal! Food: 2.5 tortillas with peanut butter and honey, taken at Mile 50 & Mile 72.5. | ||||
| 2006-03-23 | Canny | Easy ride up and over Bingham Hill and back. | ||||
| 2006-03-25 | Canny | Up and over Bingham Hill again. | ||||
| 2006-03-28 | Canny | Down Highway 14 east and back. Despite intending to go easy, felt amazing and achieved highest average speed of all centuries this month. Favorable winds and almost no stop signs. Also relied on Carbo-Pro/Gatorade mix instead of solid food, which seemed to work well. | ||||
| 2006-03-30 | Canny | Scouted out course for the mile run. | ||||
| 2006-04-01 | Canny | To the Holcim cement plant/Frontage Road at near-Ironman pace (135-140 bpm heart rate most of the time). Legs feel good! | ||||
| 2006-04-07 | Canny | Bike part of Beehive Highway (part of the Ironman bike course) in Tempe. Legs felt fresh and good. | ||||
| 2006-04-09 | Canny | First lap: HR under 150; laps 2 and 3, more around 135-140. Quads started to feel tight at Mile 96 after out of Carbo-Pro. | ||||
| 2006-04-19 | Canny | Easy ride with Ryan and Frank. | ||||
| 2006-05-10 | Carrie | First test ride in Highlands Ranch. | ||||
| 2006-05-11 | Canny | Over Bingham Hill and back. First time with waxed chain; seem to work fine. Also pumped up the Michelin Pro-Race2s to 120 psi front and rear. Seemed comfortable enough, but maybe that's because the roads around here are very smooth! | ||||
| 2006-05-13 | Carrie | Night ride with adjusted saddle and stem height. | ||||
| 2006-05-13 | Canny | Night ride around the neighborhood. | ||||
| 2006-05-17 | Carrie | Up and over Bingham Hill. Carrie really sings at speed. Light weight and stiffness seemed to help charge over hills. | ||||
| 2006-05-17 | Canny | Grassroots time trial: 9.75 miles in 28:45. Could have gone harder. Erratic wind conditions non-ideal. | ||||
| 2006-05-24 | Canny | Grass Roots Time Trial. Averaged 23.9 mph during the race. | ||||

| 2006-07-30 | Canny | Bingham Hill out-and-back. Felt pretty good; maybe it's because I'm so light after going to Vietnam (lost 7 lbs?) | ||||

| 2006-08-16 | Canny | Ride with Sandi. First 40 miles around Horsetooth; last 42 around Holcim cement plant near Wyoming border. At Mile 20 the rear shifter cable housing split and hence was riding 62 miles on a 52, 42, or 32 X 14 gear. Surprisingly still could climb okay on 17% grades! | ||||
| 2006-08-27 | Canny | Felt terrible, plus it was raining... only 9 miles. Newly waxed chain is very quiet. | ||||
