The legend! Another intense solo attack to win a stage at the TOC. Against some riders half his age. There’s nobody more fun to watch on a bike than Jens Voigt. Shut Up Legs!
Brick workout today. 23 miles on Thor, 3 minute transition and a 4 mile run. Legs really felt heavy going up Faro Springs today, but they eventually came around. 4 mile run at a 7:52 avg pace. It definitely the warmest run of the year at about 75.
Feeling absolutely spent tonight. It’s been a good but tough training week.

I have the best teammates. After a fast and fun race, I thought we completely missed our objective. However, I learned that we placed a man on the podium. Then, my teammate handed me a bottle at the start/finish line. He thanked me for planning/captaining the race. I am really honored to be part of such a stellar team!! I had fun today; let’s do it again!

Owls are nearly silent hunters, able to swoop down on their prey without the rush of air over their wings giving away their approach, thanks to several key features of their feathers. The trailing edge of their feathers—or any lifting body, like an airplane wing—are a particular source of acoustic noise due to the interaction of turbulence near the surface with the edge. Since owls are especially good at eliminating self-produced noise in a frequency range that overlaps human hearing, investigators want to learn what works for owls and apply to it aircraft. A recent theoretical analysis uses a simplified model of the feather as a porous, elastic plate. The researchers found that the combination of porosity with the elasticity of the trailing edge significantly reduced noise relative to a rigid edge. (Photo credit: N. Jewell; research credit: J.

Amazing creatures. Just reblogging this post after my recent adventure with a teammate saving a great horned owl off the road. F-yeah, owls!

As I unpinned my number this evening, I recalled how humbled I was on Sunday as I rode the P/1/2/3 golden state circuit race field with some of the big local norcal teams. I hung in there all the way to the end. It was fun and incredibly fast. Can’t wait to do it again! I included my all important pin tin box for the millions of safety pins used to pin on the number. It is a must have.
