How to achieve world class fitness!!

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Louisville, KY

Well after another normal flight on Delta airlines we finally made it to Louisville. I say normal because Delta hasn't been able to get me anywhere on time in the last few months. I'm just over their delays and cancellations.

OK back the good things....

We arrived in Louisville and were meet at the airport by my parents. Who drove all the way from Amarillo to see me and Lisa. We got checked into our hotel, which is right downtown and one block from the finish line, so I don't have far to walk when this is over. We then retrieved my bike from the company that transported it here and took a walk around the transition area. It was an awesome feeling walking around that area and looking at everything. I can't wait to see it full of bikes and people running every which way.

We then had a very nice dinner at the Red Star on 4th Street Live. Which just happens to be right where the finish line is going to be set up. It's an awesome place for a race finish. After that we headed across the Ohio river to see Matt W. who had the race wheels I'm going to be using. Once we had my bike set up and race ready we headed back to our hotel to end the day.

More to follow tomorrow. Have a good day!
