A Journey Through Training and Racing in the Southeast

Last week, some of the team lined up for a local road race called the Harbins Road Race located on the outskirts of Dacula, GA. The race was short for a Pro/1/2 race at only 65 miles, but it had ...

I remember reviewing race results when I was new to racing and being impressed by one rider’s results versus another rider’s results.  I had no idea what I was really reading.  I was lookin...

As we heading into racing season, I’m writing with a little LL Cool J from the 80’s “….Don’t Call It a Comeback….”.  That’s not exactly the situation with my riding as I’m far ...

It’s been 20 days since my last post, and I’m doing pretty well in the back department.  I got my 2nd epidural injection and think the one disc herniation and 3 annular tears are potentially...

I was about 80% healthy from the herniated disc when I bent down to pickup the smaller of our two dogs last Tuesday night.  Suddenly, I felt a jolt of lightning go through my back down my leg as...

This is day 3 or day 4 of the sore back. While the piriformis (I’ve been misspelling it for weeks) is tight on every ride, the bigger issue is the lower back pain that happens around 1hr. I’m...

I’m vacationing right now, and I thought it would be a good time to get in some miles. My performis and back pain have resurfaced to the point where I can’t even ride hard. I came into this w...

This is my second post today, and I’m not that into blogging, but I need to document this thought for next year.  A lot of people think I blog to share with others what I have learned or exper...
