Training.

Training since the middle of November, and stepping it up since the middle of December I am two months ahead of last year.... Last year I didn't really have any idea about how to prepare for the season etc... I listened to some individuals that I shouldn't have listened to when it comes to training. Should have just read lots and figured it out on my own. Would have been much better off. You live and learn......

Tomorrow if the weather permits I am going to ride to Bragg Creek and back. Should be a good test to see how I am compared to last year. I bet I am in far better shape then last year in April....... I did not know how to train anaerocally at all. Asking questions, and listening to some of the countries best might have paid off. I remember the first day of doing intervals I was green afterwards. Almost puked, but close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

On weekends I go to the gym early in the day, and then in the afternoon early evening I ride the trainer, or the rollers. If you put fatter tires, and let out a little bit of air when you ride the rollers. It makes for a hard ride. I have also found that my maximum heart rate is 196. I am not sure how it is, but that is what it is from using 4 different heart rate monitors.

Having a chance to maybe fight again has also given me a spark to get into really good shape. I am 210lbs now, and trying to get down in weight. It is hard, but I am confident that I will get down. It isn't the training, it is my eating habits that keep me from getting down in weight.
