I learned two things this week. The first being the reason why my 2611 broke at home after a day. I had an ACL on my egress interface that blocked DHCP traffic so my router could never renew its lease. The other was how to get back to my apartment from 360 on a bicycle. […]

Some like it hot

Ah, summertime in Texas. I am thoroughly sunburned from being in the pool yesterday and a 24-mile ride today. The compressor in my apartment AC died last night, so today was an exercise in staying comfortable. Apparently if you close the blinds and turn on all the fans, it’s fairly tolerable. Who knew? While googling […]

Knocking out the cobwebs

After a week I’m better, but still coughing. It was a fantastic Texas weekend, clear and sunny, in the 80s. I failed to go do anything Saturday except be a nerd and play with nerd things. Today I couldn’t take staying inside and decided to go out for the first long ride of the year. […]

Unfortunately it’s put me way behind on the Seattle-Portland training schedule. […]

It was quite the cooker, I started at 11 AM when it was already 88 F and it got hotter in the afternoon. Breakfast consisted of two ham/egg/cheese bistro sammiches from Sonic, which […]

First week without soda

80 miles today, down past San Marcos on I-35. I got quite the blochy sunburn from it. The first 20-30 miles I felt great, but by mile 60 I was bored and very ready to be finished. My legs were getting pretty heavy, I came home and crawled in bed for a couple of hours. […]

VO2/athletic stress test

I did my VO2 test today. I should have my full formal results back from a pulmonary specialist in a week or two after they go over the spirometry and EKG data. Turns out I have small lungs; the prediction was 7.3 liters, but I only measured 3.7 liters. Since I don’t smoke, they were […]

No longer elite

The cycling trainer mocks me. Last night after a five minute L14 fitness test, which tries to roughly estimate my VO2 max, I discovered I lost my “elite” status and am now “above average”. boooooo
