Tuesday

I went for an easy 1.5 hours today along the fern ridge bike path, where I saw four adult nutria and 2 juvenile nutria.  That’s a total of 6 nutria! That’s a lot of nutria!  Other highlights of the ride included smelling some really tasty Mexican food coming from an apartment complex, and finding a [...]

Conference Championships

Friday: easy hour spin in the morning. Tony and I took the bike path out to the crit course for a couple laps. On the way there and on the way back, we saw a nutria–a semi aquatic rodent the size of a very fat cat. I’m writing about nutria for a [...]

Harow

Ohhhhh, HI! My name a kennett and I very tired legs right now! I do 3 hours of TT and sprints this morning and thursday nighter later in day! 5 hours or riding. I only eat two sticks of celery and cup of noodle because I no want to be heavy. Good [...]

HELL

I found it. Contrary to what the Bible says, hell is not bellow us. It is above. It exists on a hill called Nectar Way. It rises out of the ground like a cement wave, half a kilometer high, reaching towards the sky and ready to break down upon you and [...]

Mt. Hood and other things

Today was an easy ride. Yesterday was an off day for the bike, but of course the monday night workout was still on. Monday nighters are always fun.
My legs feel a little sore and tired from all the racing, training, and travel, but they’re eager to tear up the asphalt as soon as [...]

Sea Otter Final Day

Saturday was windy and cold. Wind gusts reached up to 80mph, measured by sticking my hand out the car window. Dust blew across the race course into our eyes all day long.
Tony and I got to the course late after an extended morning hanging out at my relative’s house. I [...]

Sea Otter Update (to be continued)

This is just a quick blurb about our Sea Otter adventure so far. I’ll have the whole trip written out latter.
We got into Monterey 5 minutes before our planned time of 4AM. No one fell asleep at the wheel, but as Tony and I drove into the neighborhood where we are staying, Tony’s [...]

Leaving for Sea Otter

After an easy spin on Monday and a solid hill interval workout yesterday, my legs are ready for another weekend of racing. Karey, Tony, and I are leaving Eugene at 2pm this afternoon, after our last classes, to get out of this crap weather and into some 80 degree heat in Monterey. Tony [...]

Warshington. Saturday and Sunday.

In case this post displaces the one I just wrote, I’m letting you know that I just posted one about friday. It isn’t that interesting though. For the men’s B race report, see Ivar’s blog.
Beware, this post is long and may require reading in multiple chunks. I’m hopping to have pictures of [...]

Friday’s ride and drive up to Warshington

Thursday was an off day. No workout at all. It was first off day for me since March 24th. I wanted to ride though.
I woke up friday to sunlight. A welcome change to the dark and cold gloom that has dominated most of last week. The workout was short but [...]
