* Sat AM Ride
Calf finally feels better - left the house around 7:45 - plan was to hook up with Lodge ride and then roll down to Gate Station for few extra miles. I got to the Lodge right at 8am and only 1 person was there, so I kept spinning and ended up rolling through to Nocatee. I turned around and caught on to group on Old Palm Valley Rd. Sat in for a few rotations. The ride was pretty mellow. We ramped up the pace at the turn around for spoke 1 on the second loop. Small group of us started putting in some efforts and stayed away for rest of ride. Turned around and headed to the Gate Station with S. Burke and T. Maniatis. Had a brutal headwind on way down but got a fast tailwind on way back. I put in a good long solo effort on PVB on way back.
Ride time - 3hr30min / 74miles

Saturday a.m. - long ride
* Left early with Eric Loveless and got in ez warm up and then caught on to the Lodge Group ride. Mainly just sat in and took a few pulls....nothing hard. Group stayed together for whole ride. After group ride, I went south down A1A to Vilano and then went through St. Augustine towards Butler Beach. I took a right on SR312 (?) and then looped back through St. Aug on US-1. Back over Vilano Bridge and north A1A to back home. I rode mainly solo except for A1A south was with Casey Fannin. Avg'd right around 20mph - so I got in 120miles in 6hrs... my longest road ride yet.
Great day of riding!!

PM - Gr0up ride
* Rode County Line ride - got in a good warm up and then caught on to the Group ride. Pace was fairly steady.... never got very fast. The big group stayed together the whole ride. Was kind of a lame ride. Thought we would be able to pick it up in a few spots, but never could get the pace up. Feeling a little fatigued.
Ride time ~2hrs / 40mi
Rode with race wheels - bike looked sweet!

* County Line Group Ride -
Stoked to finally be able to actually do a fast group ride AFTER work! It was a great ride last night - a little chilly starting off, but the speed picked up quick so I was working hard within a few minutes. We only got to do the 1st spoke and the third spoke in Nocatee. Speeds stayed constant around 25-27 mph with a few spikes toward 30 along the way. A couple of guys from Indiana University were in town on spring break and were killing it!
Total ride time was right around 1:25 for about 30 miles.

Road ride - did about an hour up front ez with Saswata and Brett Snyder, then hooked on to the Lodge group ride. Did some work on the front (probably more than I intended to). Super windy in just about every part of Nocatee. Then headed down A1A to the Gate Station to refuel and head back. Still had some gusty cross/head winds. Then spun down to Atlantic Beach and back home to round out at 4hrs 15minutes - 83 miles.
Good ride!

Getting Focused....
Been neglecting the training log - but the miles have been getting done. I'm going to start working on keeping this and the RecoverBetter blog more up to date. The training and random stuff on here and team / business stuff over there. Did the 12 Hours of Santos a few weeks ago and it was killer! Competition-wise, I got worked over. But I think it was good and it has got me stoked to ride/train again. Over the past few years, I've learned that for me, the desire to train comes and goes throughout the year. I used to stress over it and worry that I would get so lost and lose my fitness, but I know now that its normal for some down time and it actually helps me to focus hard when its time to buckle down.
Next race is SERC #1 this coming weekend in G-ville at Haille's Trails. Just looking forward to pushing it hard and having some fun on the trails. I love bike racing - any kind!! Sometimes I wish I could race every weekend - mountain bikes, road bikes, triathlons, and even some BMX.
Since Santos, I've had two solid weekends of good rides. Last weekend the weather was crap on Saturday. I was pretty bummed at first because my goal that weekend was to get in some good long miles and continue with building some fitness. I hit the rollers for an hour on Saturday and had a decent workout, but rollers are still not as good as real riding. Sunday was a different story - killer weather, blue skies, slight wind.... but it was all good. Got in a little over 5 hrs on the road.
On this past Saturday, I skipped out on the group ride to hit 3 hrs solo. I cruised out through Nocatee and decided to push it through all the spokes and back to the bridge. I stayed in high z4/5 for a good 30-40 minutes and then recovered as I spun down A1A to the Gate Station. Quick refuel and then another 30 minute hard effort into the wind going north. Rolled into the driveway with 3hrs. Yesterday (Sunday) I wanted to hit the trails so I had to fix up the Spark, as she was feeling a little 'under the weather' -I guess 12 hard hours will tear up any bike. After completely rebuilding the rear end linkages and some bearing maintenance - I cruised up to Hannah and knocked out a few laps (did one fast south loop = 20:45) -- total ride time about 2hrs.
Heading into the week with some fatigue in the legs -- loving it! Its funny how I feel 'better' when I'm tired and sore! I plan on training through this week and the race on Sunday. No tapering for low-priority races......

AM - Saturday road ride -
* Started early at around 6:30 am - did Nocatee loops (all 3) then looped down thru Roscoe road to Landrum then back on 210 to A1A - then went straight down A1A to Gate Station (put in a little effort here) - refueled at Gate and then straight back home. Was a tad bit under 3hrs (2:53, i think) - no t-run - saving the legs for HOT tomorrow.

mid day -
Rode tt bike - 3hrs 30 mins (~71 miles solo)
Did Nocatee loop first then down to Vilano and back. Had headwind going south then nice tail wind on way back. My lower back was a little sore b/c saddle slid down on way down to vilano. Felt better after fixed. Legs were a little sore from Saturday run.
Good ride, all in all though.

Did long road ride with Radd. Mainly all zone 1/2 with a couple of minutes in z3. Rode from house to Micklers then did loop through Nocatee and then back to Micklers and went south on A1A to the Gate Station. Had a head wind all the way there so coming back we had tail wind. Good ride - a little cold - but felt pretty good.
total time 3:16
