Last week I pretty much moved my workouts indoors on the rollers. With night time low temperatures not really dipping below 90 degrees, any kind of outdoor activity has been rough. Set of the rollers and a small fan in front of them to keep some kind of airflow going around me. I was able to beat the sun rising and start a morning ride Saturday at 5:30 am. I only got in about 40 miles before running low on fluids. I felt very strong on the bike and before heading out made a small comfort adjustment on my saddle height. My training has me keeping my heart rate right near 80% of my maximum heart rate, using the Miowatch Quest, the readout and alarm on the watch keep me in check.
I started doing some rehab work on my IT band on my right leg, and look to attend a free clinic at a local bike shop to help me speed up the rehab and get my right hip feeling better after long rides and runs. Just the exercises I have started doing are starting to help and I am looking forward to what will learn at the clinic.

Cutting the nose off.
I have been looking into no-nose saddles for awhile now, almost a year. Just before the Tour de France began this year The New York Times posted this article.
A few of my triathlete friends have been riding with them and I have heard nothing but positive news, as well as riders and other triathletes I follow on Twitter.
My two longer rides of the week, both Saturday and Sunday this past weekend were my two maiden voyages on the new saddle, and I have to say I am quite impressed. I am still making tweaks and adjustments and have not hit the right set up just yet.
