Another trip to/from Long Beach, CA
Greetings from 35,000 ft above – somewhere over the Rocky Mountains bound for the Capitol of the Free World once again.
Yep, another few days on the ‘left coast’ are behind me. It was Chinese New Year this past weekend and I just realized that my positive projections for a great 2008 may be at odds with the Chinese ‘Year of the Rat’…, unless of course ‘rats’ bring good luck somehow….I’ll revisit that question once we reach the mid-year point at the end of June.
It’s been a few days since I last posted. Things continue to be busy both at work and privately and it’s hard to find quality training time in-between meetings, travel and family commitments. I’m still not well from my thigh injury and I’m not even close to logging the running and biking miles I need. That said, my swim has improved and I do feel as if I’m more ‘fluid’ in the water. I’ve been focusing on simple ‘drills’ to make me more streamlined and efficient. I haven’t joined the DC master’s swim work-outs quite yet but plan on doing so starting this week. I’m also trying to make a point out of getting my legs back in order on the bike and will join the boys at Hanes Point for the lunch rides at least once per week going forward. On top of that I am hoping to join my friend Roger Aspholm from New Jersey to do a week-long bike training camp in Tucson, Arizona, the first week of March. If anyone wants to join in, please let me know by sending me an e-mail (espen@espenusa.com). It’s an ‘all-inclusive’ camp inclusive of food, accommodation and Roger’s personal training advice for $900.00. The only extra would be the air fare. I’ve been there with Roger and the Westwood Cycle team before. It’s a great location to train and Mt. Lemon is simply an unbelievable location for anyone who wants to improve their pre-season cycle conditioning.
