blood, sweat and tears.

being a full time dad is playing havoc with my training plans, so i have to take a different approach. i train according to the races i plan on racing. i just do a taper before every race...

lets say i have a race in Eilat next weekend (which is exactly the case). 2 weeks ago, i did 2 interval sessions- the first on sunday- a 4 time 3 minutes uphill gig. it killed me for 3 days...

and then, on thursday- 3 times 6 minutes of climbing. i was flat till the next monday.

this week i did another two interval sessions. the first was on monday- 3 times 6 minutes intervals uphill, and on thursday- 5 times 3 minutes and 2x5 minutes. now i'm dead.

this week i'll just do 4x5 minutes of very high RPM intervals (around 125-140 rpm), and rest till race day. job done.

by the way- this is my new superfly frame. its stiffer than before, but, in my eyes, lacks a little in the visual department. its mighty fast, though...

600 and counting...

this here, is the very first picture i posted on the blog, more than 2 years ago. so many things have changed since... i posted it again for a few reasons. first- this is the 600th post, which is alot of posts. yes.

another reason i posted that picture is, in fact, a promise to myself- i will, again, start posting more- a kind of rebirth, if you want...

sooo..... what did we have here lately? mmm... so much, actually. our little Ori is growing so fast- she's 4 months now, and already grew 2 teeth!! she's the cutest thing.

i won the Red Rain Allmountain Series, a three race series on various trails around the country, using my old Gary-Fisher rig singlespeed 29er. those downhillers didn't know what hit them. ha!

oh, and i'm going to the single-speed world championship !!! its in Ireland this year, and we'll make it into a family trip... Moran, Ori and i will have fun in Ireland at the end of August. what a rush.

and last, but not least- i turned 30 two weeks ago. now i'm old enough to ride a little slower. not.

promise to blog more. word.
