Sorry to be absent from the blogosphere so long.
Music
Along with several fun and profitable gigs, last week saw the return of DC3 to the recording studio. We got some good takes on a couple of my originals and a few unique arrangements of covers. The players are Keith on tubs, Mack tickling the ivories and yours truly. After another recording session or two, we'll move along to the editing, mix down and mastering phases of this project.
Cycling
The annual training plan has finally reached the last week of the "Build 2" phase. This, after completing nine weeks of "Base 1-3" and six weeks of "Build 1". The following two weeks will be the "Peak" phase, which is in sync with the Masters National Championships (Park City, Utah) at the end of this month, *BUT* I have opted to pass on the Championship event due to a multitude of reasons, none of which include health and fitness. It's depressing so we won't talk about it, however I will do some regional races instead.
The final push for this last Build phase came this weekend with Saturday's hill repeats (ouch) and 20 minute AT intervals. Followed by Sunday's hot and humid 70+ mile adventure all the way to the edge of dehydration and elevated levels of internal temperature. Thankfully Theron was there to guide me back to the land of H2O, potassium, sodium and air conditioning. Thanks for the wheel, mate!
Today and the remainder of this week's focus is on R&R... and it has arrived not a minute too soon.
