Speaking of power out put... my power sensor battery was dead when i started my ride so i didn't have my power metric available to me when riding which is what i typically go by. So i was riding by perceived effort. I fell like i was sucking it up and that new saddle wasn't feeling too great so i cut my workout short by 8 or so miles. Felt kind of defeated, like i was riding slow the whole time. I open up Garmin connect and front page shows me achieving a new record. I bested my 40k time by nearly 2 minutes! I guess i was working harder than i thought. lol Last two times i reduced my 40k time it was only by 32 and 12 seconds respectively. Yesterday i didn't expect to lower that time at all, so besting it by 2 min was completely unexpected. I should ride with my computer facing down every other week?! Maybe that makes me work harder.

Yeah, haha. The perception of hard work is usually quantified appropriately when we aren't monitoring as we go along. But that's remarkable, nonetheless!

I have definitely noticed this. For me it is running with my iPhone music and app. Occasionally on a business trip, I'll forget my running headphones or arm strap. Almost ALWAYS when I run with no audible cues, I run faster.

Best thing about being in Chicago is that I know the cops in all the towns I frequent.

You're better off doing machines and body weight right? 1MOREMOD walks into a gym, sees that the Dumbbells only go up to 120lbs, grunts, calls the gym Curves, turns around and walks out. Never to return again. Must have gym with Dumbbells over 200+. |

Maybe it was the psychological effect of seeing such a low number when i'm using to seeing double that made me work harder? I mean i was doubling the number in my head while riding but when reading power from only one pedal, it only moves in 5 watt increments. In trying to stay above 100 watts i was trying to see 105 more often than 100. By doubling my best 20 min power average, i was at 217. The best 20 min average I've put down (outside of that TT race) was 209 watts. 8 watts doesn't sound like much but just a hand full of watts when you're over 200 can make a significant difference. On the note of 8 watts making a significant difference, i've read that by shaving my legs i can reduce my drag coefficient by what equals a 7 - 12 watt gain over 40k, depending on my Chewbacca factor. On the Chewy scale, i think i'll probably gain about 10 watts, which is huge. So far though, i'm not jonesing bad enough for extra wattage to justify shave my legs.

A lot of the hotels we started ended up cleaning up the areas around them, so we established relationships with the the police departments way back. When I started shadowing my dad and working in the hotels, I always talked with the cops when they'd stop by. Nice guys, some of the most genuine people I know.
Also, a few of the GMs for our regions are married to higher tier cops in the towns. I also provide them with free coffee, donuts, and lunch from the cafes in the hotels. And I occasionally give them rides in the whips. |

The town had a very small gym I'd use. One of my professional COI's was an attorney and he just also happened to be a former BYU and pro O-lineman. When he walked into the gym - every 45 and 35 lb plate was used for the next 1.5 hours. |
