The Cyclocross Workout Of The Day for Monday, 11.17.14. “Belgian Selfie”
Howdy folks,
I hope ya’all found some success out at the races this weekend!
Lot’s of great events went down over the last couple of days, but there were few races quite as cool to watch as the good old-fashioned modder at Gavere yesterday…
Sooo much great stuff in this race!
– how the heck does Nys salvage third (and the series lead) from a start like that? Again.
– That VdP kid is pretty good
– Belgians are just as stupidly obsessed with selfies as the rest of the world
– If you’re going to race cross in Belgium, you better be able to run. Well.
Check out the vid today when you have a chance, perhaps while you’re on the trainer doing your…
Recovery Spin –
– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street – or into your living room if you’re on the turbo – and just spin around for an hour.
– Really small gear, no hard efforts – heck, no medium effort.
– Spin. You’re looking to move your legs around in circles, almost like there is no chain on the bike.
– The idea is to get your body moving, flush the systems out, and speed your recovery.
– Just get out on the road and spin aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs suddenly feel better.
– As soon as that happens, turn around, go home, eat, stretch, and put your legs up.
Enjoy!

Hey there…
Thanks for following my blog!
This thing started off as a lark, and over the years that I’ve been doing it, has become a little bit of a monster.
It takes a fair bit of time – and a wee bit of money – to keep this thing rolling, and as you may have noticed, I’ve recently started asking for folks to chip in a bit if they feel like what they’re getting her is worth something to them.
Honestly, it’s not like I’m trying to get rich off this here thing… or really even make any money from it at all.
It’d just make my life a fair bit easier if I didn’t lose quite as much money doing this as I currently do.
So, hey… if you feel like you’ve gotten anything of value out of this blog, please do me a favor – and yes, it’s a favor, and I will be truly thankful for it – and send a buck or two (or five, or whatever…) my way.
How do you do that?
