More Tunes


This morning's playlist for class was decidedly old school - some solid classic rock for a hard tempo session that included trips to threshold along the way and finished at or above threshold for the final 10min. Killer - it all seemed easy until the last two songs...

In the Mood - Robert Plant
In Hiding - Pearl Jam
Nice Guys Finish Last - Green Day
Baba O'Reilly - The Who
Dreams - Van Halen
Legs - ZZ Top
Have Love Will Travel - The Black Keys
Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin
Hail Hail - Pearl Jam
Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue
Althea - Grateful Dead (yes, really - for cool down)

I took out the 'cross bike yesterday for some easy miles and technique work. I'm surprised how much the skillz have stuck around - dismounting/remounting was pretty easy but I definitely need some new pedals. Three gnarly winter's worth of commuting have pretty much frozen the bearings which makes clip-in nearly impossible. This weekend will be the final 40K of the season and then a crit or two on Sunday.

I finished 'One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest' and loved every page - it was an excellent read. Just started 'Deliverance' by James Dickey and have 'The Rum Diary' by Hunter S. Thompson in the queue.
