October hit like a storm. Lots going on, lots to do. The usual. Training for Tour de Tucson This went remarkably well. From October 1st to the 28th, my FTP (functional threshold power) jumped 4%, and my body weight has stayed below 195, with some minor fluctuations. I have a few tweaks to do to … Read more
Holy shit, I’m behind schedule on my monthly updates here. I rolled into September exhausted from all the travel we’d done in August, stuff that was booked long before I got laid off in early July. That said, I still had some ambitious ideas in mind rolling into September, and I had a lot on … Read more
There are exactly two years left in this undertaking, as I post this right meow. This last quarter was pretty goddamned productive, and I’m really pleased with myself for getting to where I am right now.
