She Loves You

Here is the BAC Bulletin, Vol 7, No 7, September 2011.


Please notice the announcement of the new CompuTrainer Multi-Rider Center. Hosted by yours truly. The timing seemed right to pull the trigger on this, and of course, as soon as we go to press with the news, the CompuTrainer Boss calls and says get your butt to DC for the Nations Triathlon. The news of which immediately triggers a 5.9 earthquake with an epicenter about 30 feet from the bike start. Nonplussed and undeterred at that news, the timing is still right (as in not a moment too soon). Here is the short list of initial Multi-Rider offerings:


Two Person Team Racing

Individual Time Trail Racing

Specific Course/Event training

FTP (functional threshold power) testing

Custom fit and pedal stroke diagnosis


That is just for starters, enough we feel, to get us to Sept.11, the date of the 2011 Nations Triathlon in Washington DC. Those regular readers among you (VBA) will remember that last year we got drenched like a rat in a drain ditch and came away with zero useable video. This is take two.


Other big news today, with promised pic, is the status of the PO. Pizza Oven. After another round of design changes, we are back to the bricks this afternoon, laying the throat, flue liner and door opening. You will thank me one day as a steaming circular thin-crust slab of Neapolitano Margherita (with shards of pecorino romano, black truffles and locally grown basilo) pops from oven top to table top.


Life is good my friends. We train, we work. We travel, we eat. We celebrate, we explore. As mentioned in class this morning, one of the sometimes overlooked benefits of high intensity interval training (HIT) is in the improvements to your heart (aka cardio). A bigger, stronger more efficient heart contributes to many positive outcomes, athletic and otherwise. With a bigger, stronger, more efficient heart….


…we can love more. And as John & Paul astutely noted "and you know that can't be bad."


Yeah, yeah, yeah.
