Tomorrow morning at 10:15 AM I will be racing in the 8th Annual Team Pyscho Indoor Time Trial held at Fastsplits Multisport. The setup is awesome: 8 Computrainers all hooked up to a big flatscreen TV so that you’re virtually racing your competitors. Last year I was third place, averaging 343 watts over 22 minutes. [...]

Winter training can be boring, especially when you live in a snowy climate. However, TC and I try to do lots of little things to make it less boring. I rarely ever just sit on the Computrainer for 2 hours straight spinning at a low to moderate heart rate. TC likes to give me lots [...]
