IT HAS ARRIVED!!

i am so excited. my new SRM power meter arrived today and finally i have the best most accurate power meter on the planet.

i got a sweet dura ace equipped unit and am just sweating with anticiaption on jamming on it. SRM has long been known to be the most accurate and the gold standard in power measuring devices. almost every Pro Tour team uses them and i love training with power and also racing with it. for me (yes i am not the fastest) it was a big part of my personal success last year. 2007 was my best racing season ever so this year i hope to build on that. i will be doing some Presentation on the SRM unit this season so stay tuned and check out http://www.srm.de/ or our site for more info.

i also got the rotor stem which is the lightest and stiffest stem made.
i did a power test yesterday with the ergomo unit on the caliente and am 10 watts stronger then i was last year at this time so that is good. the squad is training well and everyone seems to be gelling nicely. we will have a great season.

Fresh as a daisy...

i thought that would capture your vivid imaginations. what were you all thinking was going to be the next line? let me know..post below. hey that reminds. i'm a pet and didnt even know it. i could write this whole blog as a rhyme but who the heck has the time. ok i'll stop it right now as take my final bow. doh!!!!

seriously, i guess i am in a fun mood. all is well here in Z/BodyZen world so if you don't want to be happy, healthy, successful or elated then quit reading now!!

we have started some new training groups and have some great new athletes in the pipeline which is very rewarding. last year at this time i was doing so much travelling but now it is pretty stable and we are in miami for a while. we are looking forward to our Florida, Arizona and North Carolina camps though. we have restructured our age group coaching biz a bit to include more group workouts and the athletes really seem to dig it and they are so much fun. it is great to see the atheltes push themselves more and even the coaches jump in there every now and then.

the baby is growing up so much and is such a riot. 20 months old, can yo ubelive it. jeez time flies. i will have some articles coming up in the future so please chck back soon!

2008

ok so another year is down and we are off and kicking for another 365 days.

Erinne, Blu and I have been away for the last 10 days and are currently in the cold, snowy and peaceful mountains in western north carolina. this area is very tought to train in as it is cold (yes real cold) and very mountainous. yet, we have been able to stay fit thru the holiday foods and have worked on just going out for fun workouts with a not so serious edge.

hours and hours running and riding alone in the mountains or whereever help to create strategies and programs for our athletes and ourselves. i find that during these labored jaunts i think of my athletes plans and workouts and how to improve them and ge them to reach their potential. this year we have many new programs and ideas that we know will help us make this our best season yet. we are now into our 11th season coaching and it is still as gratifying and rewarding as the first season. NO, it is actually better, yes way better. the feelings i get when an athletes rocks across that line is just awesome. so if you're one of our athletes then hang on tight as we will be pushing you in new and old ways this year.
