July 20th - Waiting for the Cold Front

They say the heatwave is going to break today...the cold front is coming.  Nice breeze today on my ride.  Funny how during the winter, I hate a headwind.  Today it felt good.

Just a quick recovery ride.  My legs are feeling heavy so I just did a short loop near home.  I've passed this road a few times - could it be named for me?



Sadly, there is no hill.  It's just a dead end for a development.  Sigh.

Hippo CX 2018

Image
Since I am friends with the guys at Pure Energy, I decided to add Hippo CX to my small list of races for 2018. I signed up to help support the ladies Pro/Cat 1/2 field even though I knew I'd be DFL. I also offered to help with set up and registration. Nothing like a full plate. And everything I've ever done to prep for a race in the past? Didn't happen. After helping set up the course Friday and not getting home until 11:30 only to get up at 5 am Saturday to return for registration...I wasn't in the mood to race (as probably expressed by my Medium face at registration). That morning I said "I'm not racing". As a matter of fact, I gave my pit bike away for the rest of the season. But a friend registered in our race because she said she saw my name. How can you not race? I worked registration until 30 minutes before my race. Quick changed and pinned my number. I rolled up to the start realizing I still had the car keys in my pocket. I rolled up already ...

Cured from Sleep Apnea?

Image
I posted a few weeks ago that I no longer needed my CPAP and would be donating to the local hospital.  Some of you reached out asking "how did you get rid of your sleep apnea??" Here's my story. I have no medical results that fully back this - other than allergy testing and my most recent sleep study.  Could it be coincidence? Possibly.  Will this work for others? Who knows - but this is what worked for me. Some background first.  I have a slew of food  allergies .  And until recently, I was suffering from sleep apnea. About 6 years ago, after two sleep studies, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and was put on a CPAP .  I hated wearing it - and I did not feel refreshed in the morning.  I was mostly wearing it so that my snoring didn't bother Lance.  I discussed my frustrations with my pulmonary doctor in August.  My nightly readings from the CPAP were not alarming and actually quite low. He had some ideas and ordered another sleep s...
