Utah didn't go quite as planned. I wasn't climbing very well and the other guys really struggled with the altitude. I had fun spending time with the guys though, so it wasn't all bad. Next, we have the Rockford, MI crit - which is 1 of 2 races that Priority Health, Advantage Benefits, and Bissell sponsor each year (which basically means that we have to win!). That race is on Aug. 26th and then we travel down to S. Carolina for the USPRO TT on Fri. Sep. 1 and the RR on Sun. This is the first year that it is US only so we won't be able to utilize the skills of Richie, Tommy, and Glen for those. But, Eddie is rumored to be making his comeback there so it will be great to have him in the road race and hang out with him again. Talk about morale boost! After USPROs, I have the Atlanta 100k, Univest, and then the Parker Omnium to finish things off. My life is pretty hectic right now, so don't expect any frequent or creative posts. I'm surprised that there are any readers left - as boring as these posts have been of late! Anyway, I hope to be back to my old self soon and I appreciate everyone who continues to keep up-to-date on our happenings.
Attention all masochists: for a good time, try O2 intervals! This is Frank and I prepping for TT Nats. I'm officially a spoiled athlete.

Of course you have readers!
Pretty slick TT position and the face mask suits you. I am working on an carbon mesh aero hairnet for the mullett so you can save an extra couple of seconds.
Good to see you are back in town.
Wow! A carbon mesh aero hairnet? I like the sounds of that. There just might be a potential market for a sweet product like that...I'd definitely endorse it.
Why do you have a jersey on for the ergo session? is it to show off the sponsors?
Lookin' good on the stationary bike. I think you should teach a spin class this off season.
Man, you are right. What a boring post. Heck, all your posts have left me waking up two hours later wondering what in the hell made me fall asleep. Oh ya, Thor's updates.
Seriously, it has been a fun season for myself and to watch you progress through your "boring" blogs.
Seriously tear up those bastards at the USPRO TT. You know you have got the good for it so put them to use. Plus, all that O2 should have all 16 cyclinders firing full bore. Tear that sh%t up man!
Velomaniac,
we were doing longer LT intervals on the ergo and they were all out, of course! In fact, the 2nd int. broke me and I left with my tail between my legs. We were seeing about a 5% increase in power with the supplimental O2 and that's on the lower end of what we were expecting/hoping. You're not some Spanish ProTour spy trying to get TT tips are you....?
Thanks for the encouragement!
Here's to you Mr. "where did i put the extra bottle of mullet control?",
what's your email address, i'd like to send you the pic from Utah where you scared the living daylights out of the kid with the T-shirt. Tim
