Something I learned from a certain Mr.Jazzy and his helpful articles :-) Anyway my point was I'm not fast yet. How not fast we'll see when I try to fight for your wheel on Sunday at Maahblehead...Nathaniel Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236557402855582309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037473075797089641.post-39525527520330392812009-03-31T16:14:00.000-07:002009-03-31T16:14:00.000-07:00You better double the length of those AWC interval...You better double the length of those AWC intervals kid, if you expect to be able to sprint when the sprint actually starts!<BR/><BR/>I want you to feel good about yourself, so I won't tell you about my AWC workout today...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037473075797089641.post-90538293187271168882009-03-31T11:56:00.000-07:002009-03-31T11:56:00.000-07:00I wouldn't include Maiden and Metallica under hair...I wouldn't include Maiden and Metallica under hair metal. I mean more like Poison, or Winger. <BR/><BR/>You're totally right about training music, most of my favorites (The Harry Smith Anthology for example) don't make for good training music. <BR/><BR/>I totally see your point about the logistics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037473075797089641.post-28599787746427065062009-03-31T09:06:00.000-07:002009-03-31T09:06:00.000-07:00Well I'll agree with you, Chris, but in defense of...Well I'll agree with you, Chris, but in defense of hair metal, I have to say that sometimes when you're riding the indoor trainer, or warming up for a race, or building a bike, or just needing to wake up, nothing does the trick like some vintage Metallica or Maiden. Don't forget I'm a dyed-in-the-wool musician myself, with a folk to blues to Jazz nerd back to Old Time background, but sometimes one must rock, no?<BR/><BR/>And big kudos to CBRC for the JC series. The reason most other series are held in aesthetically uninspiring settings is because of the logistical hassle involved with securing enough volunteers to adequately marshal a road race. It is a big task to do this once, never mind three weeks running. And we'd love to see you--Chris or anyone else--up this way if you feel like making the trip. <BR/><BR/>-nNathaniel Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236557402855582309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037473075797089641.post-65807406247998005942009-03-31T08:59:00.000-07:002009-03-31T08:59:00.000-07:00If only someone in the Nutmeg State would put toge...If only someone in the Nutmeg State would put together an early season series like this. I don't race much, but I'd surely get out more for something like the Johnny Cake series. <BR/><BR/>I see the practical value of the parking lot/industrial park crit, but for me (a musician/writer first), they just seem artless, even soulless . . . like Hair Metal.<BR/><BR/>-ChrisB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
