My company, Storage Solutions, had a group outing to tonight's Angels game. We left after the 7th inning stretch and the Angels were down by 3 or 4. Good tailgate pre-game, good people, bad night for the Halos.
Before we left to get to the game, we checked online to see if we could bring food/snacks. I wasn't looking to carry in a large pizza, but I did want to bring peanuts and water and some candy.
Well, it seems the Angels purposefully omit mentioning on their website food is allowed. The give the okay to bringing in bottled water (no soda) but somehow fail to mention anything about food. I had to Google around and finally came upon the Ticketmaster (aka SurchargeMaster) site for the venue where it at least implies (but does not say) food is allowed. It says, "NO BULK QUANTITIES OF FOOD ARE ALLOWED."
I guess they figure if they don't tell you, you won't figure it out and instead of bringing your own peanuts you'll shell out (haha-pun) for their doubly-expensive ones.
I wish they'd stop playing games and just tell us what the policy is.
I'll tell you about how Manhattan Beach Grand Prix (MBGP) went tomorrow.
I also added a photo to the San Pedro GP story below. It shows what I wrote - me sitting up with my hand in the air and everyone else sprinting to the line behind eventual (perpetual?) winner Karl Bordine (5 Star WVO) who beat out Raul Frias (Vitamix/Sixtufit) and Rudy Napolitano (Rock Racing).
I participated in the San Pedro Grand Prix Pro/1/2 yesterday, the Elite State Championship race. I'd say I raced except I really wasn't racing. I was more or less just there.
I hadn't done this race before. I wasn't sure I'd like the course given the long stretches and sharp turns on each end. It turned out the turns weren't too tight and the wind not too bad.
It was just me and Peter "Pedro" Andersen for our team. Peter did a great job of winning the field sprint for 3rd in the 35+ race. Sadly, his great finish did little to inspire me for this race. He seemed to still have plenty of gas.
Peter asked, "How are you feeling?" I responded, "I'm not." The heat (no ocean coolness in San Pedro) wasn't doing anything but killing me, and for a reason I couldn't figure out, I felt flat, like a can of soda left open all day. I couldn't blame the course.
I rode top half of the field to start and never warmed up or felt good. At around 45 minutes, after a hard effort to bridge a gap, I sat up, rolled back, and nearly called it a day. However, the pack was strung out enough that once I finally caught my breath and decided I should continue, I was still able to catch a wheel. After that moment, I started to feel better, but never good, and floated frop top 10 to last ten in the pack, over and over again.
I kept spying Peter up the road, mixing it up well. I felt terrible that I couldn't help, especially after he'd already put in a race.
Rock Racing and 5 Star WVO exchanged attacks. Nothing lasted long. 5 Star WVO lined it up with 3 laps to go. Their train kind of derailled before the last lap and Rock Racing tried to take over. I couldn't find the energy to move up like usual with 1 to go. I was 20 back around the last turn and avoided a big pile-up on the left. Strangely, after dodging bodies and bikes, I found myself looking down the road with a potential top 10. But when I got up to torque it to sprint, I heard a TWANG and couldn't get it going.
My rear wheel blew a spoke and the rim was rubbing the brakes a ton. I threw up my hand and a bunch of guys blew by me - safely - thank you very much. I think I rolled in around 20ish. I didn't see where Peter ended up. Come to think of it, I didn't go back to see if he was at the bottom of that pile or not. I should call.
I got back to the car, chugged a bottle of water, a bottle of Cytomax, and a can of soda (fizzy, not like my legs).
The bad news is I'm heavier than I should be if I want to be really competitive. The good news is the donuts and ice cream haven't pushed me to new highs... yet.
This first chart shows the 7-day average of my morning and evening body weight as measured by the same electronic scale over the past six years.
The story here is I'm currently weighing in around 148.25 pounds, am the heaviest I've been in 4 years, am 4.0 pounds above my lowest weight at this time of year, and am nearly 5 pounds heavier than my lowest recorded weight.
The second chart shows the 7-day average of my morning and evening body fat % as measured by the same electronic scale using biolelctric impedance analysis (BIA) over the past six years.
The story here is I'm currently at 10.5% body fat, have the most body fat in 4 years, am 1.5% above my lowest % at this time of year, and am 2% fatter than my lowest recorded %. And although 2% doesn't sound like much on its own, 2% of 148 pounds is 3 pounds. I'm carrying around 3 extra pounds!
I had this data for some time but finally looked at it carefully and it's already caused me to go from two donuts and two scoops of ice cream to one each.
1. APR 20 - Torrance Criterium - After taking a beat-down at Garrett Lemire, I was glad to have a local crit for an easy drive and hopefully easier race. Good rest and some of the improved training I've been up to kind of paid off. For the first time this season I was affecting the race, not just surviving it. I chased Christian Valenzuela (SuccessfulLiving.com) around like a shadow while keeping a keen eye on the handful of Rock Racing guys in the mix (Sergio Hernandez, Sterling Magnell, Austin Carrol). As a result, I was in or quickly on top of all the breaks. Unfortunately, it came down to a field sprint and someone went down into turn three. I had to hit the breaks and settled for a 12th place finish. Money was 10 deep, so I missed out on cash but was glad to see some good legs and racing from myself for once.
2. APR 27 - Chuck Pontius Crit - I so very happily skipped Devil's Punchbowl Road Race the day before. Valencia was hot but there was a breeze in the air to keep it tolerable. I had teammates in the race: Lance Coburn and Peter Andersen. Both guys had already done earlier races. Peter was in an early break that looked like it might stay off. He later told me there was too many guys skipping their pulls. After that break caught, Peter and I made the second and ultimately final break of the day. Chepe Garcia (Toyota-United) was the guy who kicked it off. I struggled early as Chepe drove the pace. A few guys fell off, but some more came across. We started working well, then not, so our group of 15 or so guys nearly got caught at around 15 minutes to go. When we got 5 laps to go our lead appeared to be enough and the jockeying started. At turn 4 heading into 1 to go, a LiquidFitness guy jumped. I hesistated and so did everyone else, and he ended up holding us off for the win. I didn't bother trying to look for Peter, or him for me, as we were both pretty gased. At least he had a good excuse. I managed to get 8th in the sprint, but well off the six guys ahead of me. Peter was 12th. Lance did his faithful blocking duties back in the field.
Woohoo! My first top 10 and money in a Pro/1/2 race all year.
1. Skipped Ontario on 24 FEB in favor of lounging about the house or something. All I know is I didn't race and didn't ride.
2. Did CBR's Dash 4 Cash Crit on 02 MAR. Did fine in the 30+. Was in a break with my former teammate Chris DeMarchi (5 Star WVO). I nabbed one lap for $20. I thought our group of 10ish would stay off but too many guys weren't doing their share. We got caught, there was a big crash at two to go (or one to go?) that took out my teammate Lance Coburn. I dodged the flying bikes and bodies, rolled in for 10th. Karl Bordine (5 Star WVO) did his usual; flew up the side on the last lap and won handily.
I started the Pro/1/2, did about an hour and decided I sucked and was tired and went home. DNF.
3. Did my team's race, the Tour de Murrieta Pro/1/2 on SAT & SUN 08-09 MAR. The crit was fast, I was participating but tiring, at four to go, I was behind a pile-up in turn 1, got nailed in the calf by someone's something, and cramped up. I couldn't continue, no free laps, I technically DNFed but thought I had a good race otherwise. Jonathan Cantwell (Jittery Joe's) stuck it to Dominique Rollin (Toyota-United) and Antonio Cruz (BMC) for the win.
Sunday's road race was a tough one. Guys were dropping like flies. I managed to hang on and finish 35th. Up the road was a break of 15 or more, and it was Karl Bordine (5 Star WVO) who got the jump on the break for the win.
4. LA Circuit Race on 16 MAR. I was actually feeling good about this one. Rock Racing brought a boat load of dudes including Tyler Hamilton. My team brought me. El solo. Was doing fine until I started to have issues with my chain or pedal. No free laps, but I couldn't keep going with the problem. I pulled out and found a frozen link on the chain. Justin Beope, 5 Star WVO Director, let me use some tools in the van. I got the link loosened up and jumped back in a lap down. No chance of making it up, I just got some training in. I stayed out of the way for the sprint, but with a 12t rear, I wouldn't have had a chance on that downhill at 45+ MPH.
5. Skipped another weekend of racing 22-23 MAR which was Del Mar and Ontario. I think I watched TV.
6. Totally glad to have the field fill before I could enter the San Dimas Stage Race Pro/1/2 (28-30 MAR). I would have been killed. Ended up being a nice weekend.
7. Chose Redlands over the Anthill Crit on 06 APR. Great, freakin' fast race. All the guys who couldn't handle the stage race did the crit and put the hammer down. Three lapped: Hilton Clarke (Toyota-United), Matt Shriver (Jittery Joe's), and Sergio Hernandez (Rock Racing). I was sitting about 20 with 2 to go and there was a wipe-out on turn one (sound familiar) and I ended up moving about 20 spots back as a result. Had no legs to move up the rest of the way and that's where I finished; 36th.
8. Wasn't really interested in the SD Cyclovets Omnium so I got crazy and went to Garrett Lemire Memorial Grand Prix (13 APR) instead. I was originally going to do the Isla Vista crit the day before, too, but the I never made hotel plans after I couldn't get into GLMGP cause it was full. I got luck and unlucky when I called to see if any spots opened up. One did, I got in, I skipped Saturday to save legs for Sunday, and it ended up that I would have needed to save for a lot longer than that. I only lasted 35 minutes in the very fast, very hot race. I had fun watching the rest unfold. SCNCA.com has 78 guys listed as finishing. I only recall about half that. Maybe I should have jumped back in.
On the training front, I am getting in four days a week now. Tuesdays at El Do, Thursday nights at Hughes, Saturdays wherever, and Sundays wherever if not racing or TV+couching.
El Do has seemed incredibly sketchy this year. I keep thinking about it and wonder if I'm losing my nerve. I think the issue is there are a lot up recently upgraded guys or 3s who aren't good bike handlers and a lot of the final laps aren't fast enough to weed them out. I much prefer surviving to banging it out in a training race, but so many people take El Do too seriously. I yield to them in favor of survival.
Over a month since my last entry and I finally felt guilty enough to sit and type something. A few things.
1. There should be a law that requires sports venues to adjust the price of beer according to the home team's performance. Bad team = cheaper beer to drown your sorrows. I haven't actually bought one in a long while, but I noticed Staples Center charges $10 for a handheld bucket of suds at a Kings game. The Kings are dead last in the NHL. I don't know who's crazier, them and their prices or us for still making the trip to see them.
2. Racing: Yes I have been, just not with much result. After CBR's rainfest, I did:
10 FEB - Roger Millikan/Brea - Pro/1/2 - Lots of fast guys but it came down to a big sprint. I was happy to finish and stuck to my word of going for a ride afterward for extra training.
15-17 FEB - Valley of the Sun Stage Race - 30+ - I travelled with the team to Valley of the Sun where we dominated the 30+ race. We were the only team with a full squad. After several of our guys time trialed for great positions on Friday (Dave "Meat" Gonyer was our best, 3rd place and 5 second back), we spent the next day of road racing attacking and isolating the GC leader.
Donny Carrol (DeWalt) missed the early break but worked like a madman to try and bring it back. With our blocking, the break stuck and two of our guys, Meat and Peter Andersen, moved up overall. Peter was 3rd, Meat was 4th, and Peter Coulson (2xu) took the win and the lead.
We stuck to plan and did the same at the crit the next day. It was a short 30 minutes of fury. I hounded the GC leader, Coulson, gapping him out and making him chase around as we launched attack after attack. At two to go, a big attack turns into a gap up the road and we get the race win (Michael Williams) and the GC win by 4 seconds. Peter tops the podium, Meat was 3rd, Mike was 7th. My lack of TT skill put me 7:06 behind at 16th.
Racing in the rain on Sunday (CBR's RILYSI race) wasn't such a bad thing. Turns out it was the best wash my bike's gotten in about 6 months.
Usually the rain is only heavy enough to wet the ground and cause more gunk to stick on, but the substancial rain washed the bad stuff to the gutters and went on to wash the bad stuff, including gooey sports drink, from my bike.
Some people don't like all the controversy the Rock Racing pro cycling team is drumming up, especially through its opinionated and outspoken owner, Michael Ball.
The 2008 road racing season is here, so let's get some catching up done.
HEADLINE 1: ADM trades 5 Star Fish salt water for CA Pools & Spas relaxing fresh water!
Translation: I am on a new team for 2008, California Pools & Spas Cycling Team.
Why? My time with Team 5 Star Fish was great, but ended with my 2007 contract. I'm comfortable being honest about saying I wasn't asked to return. I'm also comfortable saying I probably couldn't have accepted an offer from 5 Star or any other team asking for a large commitment. With a baby and a job, I need to take the feet off the pedals a bit. I considered taking this year off to regroup, but Ernie Sanchez and the CA Pools Team put together an offer that allows me to race at a good, but less hectic level, with great support and with great comraderie, including three of my familiar 5 Star teammates: Dan Vinson, Peter Andersen, and Lance Coburn.
The team's focus is primarily 35+ events. I'm the "young" guy in the bunch with a racing age of just 34 this year, but there will be plenty of 30+ events for me to join in on and most of the guys will be taking on the Pro/1/2 events I plan to still work into my riding diet.
Oh, and the CA Pools & Spas Cycling Team color match my website better. :) I'll be updating my CYCLING page soon.
HEADLINE 2: CA Pools & Spas Cycling Team Nearly Drowns at CBR Race Downpour Some guys did the MLK crit last Saturday, but my first race of the season was yesterday's CBR Ride It Like You Stole It Criterium.
Rain was in the forecast but it was dry all morning. At 12:00 PM (as if the clouds waited so we could fairly say "it was dry all morning") rain began to fall. The 30+ race cued up at the line to start at 12:10, and by then it wasn't just lightly raining, it was raining. The race started out slowly, and then it was like the season never ended. Former teammate and current 5 Star Fish, Chris DeMarchi, ended up taking off with Thurlow Rogers (too many former teams to list). Other guys came and went. The difference was the rain, which went from rain to downpour.
My glasses fogged and I could barely see out of them. I took them off, only to realize it was worse to get stinging rain in my eyes than to keep the glasses on. I put them back on.
As Chris and Thurlow rode off into the sunset, Pat Caro (Schroeder Iron) was jumpy and was off in a break with others. Karl Bordine (5 Star) attacked to get across several times. I recall covering three of his moves which was two too few. On his fourth attack, I couldn't match and Karl got up the road to the break chasing DeMarchi and Thurlow. My man Peter Andersen got a ride up from Karl.
And then they called 35 minutes to go. It felt like it had already been forever. The rain sucked. It was cold. I was racing for 12th or something. I considered getting out right then. Silly me, I kept racing.
Then it got funny. Chris and Thurlow lapped us. Their presence kicked up the pace and we caught the other break, so it was Chris and Thurlow +1 lap, and everyone else together again. In the building rain, I got a laugh when I was pulling up tight alongside Pat Caro to move ahead of him and he gave me a shove on the hip. Because I missed picking up my new kits, I was wearing a plain-wrap Performance jersey and other old gear. Pat didn't recognize me and gave me the shove, assuming I was just some random racer dude. I knew it and gave him heck as I pulled up again, and we both got a laugh about it, acknowledging the courtesy reputation and familiarity give and get, or in this case, don't get when not recognized.
Back to racing. The rain came down more. The corners, especially the lowest one (turn 3), started to become rivers. The 5 lap countdown couldn't come fast enough. I was sure before that Karl and Chris would try to attach Thurlow but it never happened. Maybe Chris and Thurlow had an agreement? I figured Chris would be just as happy to let it come down to a field sprint since he'd be the favorite to beat him.
Karl sat at the back and I figured he'd try to launch with 2 or 1 to go. He was more patient than me and remained at the back as I moved up into the last lap. On the stretch into turn 4, Karl launched up the inside, hit the corner first, and went on to win the sprint for 3rd. I tried the same move after him, but didn't make the corner before about 5 guys ahead hit it tight. In dry weather, I would have killed the corner and kept rolling, but with the deep and rushing water there, I eased up and leaned up, losing valuable speed and spots. Past the turn, I started sprinting but could only salvage 9th place. Peter was ahead and took 5th or 6th. DeMarchi won.
Let's do the 100k Pro/1/2 for more miles! NO! Unbelievably, the rain got even heavier. After putting my pit wheels in the car I returned to the official's tent to check results. The 3's race was on the road and Mr. Police Officer rolled up to say he didn't think the race should continue due to the heavy and high water in the corners. The 3's race was shortened and the Pro/1/2 race cancelled.
I rolled to my car, threw the bike in the trunk, and jumped into the driver's seat soaking wet. From 5 Star Fish to CA Pools, to crazy rain in SoCal. It's crazy we all keep cycling. I'm glad I can swim.
First, let me tell you about how 2007 ended. I was tired and a wee-bit sick over the weekend. It was cold and I decided to sleep in instead of ride. On Saturday, I had gotten out of bed and into my cycling clothes but never made it down the stairs. I stared at myself in the mirror, trying to convince myself I needed to ride, but I wasn't convincing enough. I peeled off my cycling clothes, got back into my sweats, and crawled back into my warm bed.
I didn't even bother setting an alarm on Sunday. I told myself, "if I feel like waking up to ride, I will. And if I dont, I won't." I didn't and I didn't.
I worked on Monday and didn't ride but made the decision to forgo counting down to the new year in the evening in favor of bedtime at 10 PM. I wanted to get a good night's rest for the New Year's Day Ride.
Sleep is good. I woke up refreshed and anxious to get to the ride. The weather was great. It was about 58 degrees when I left the house, a good 10 degrees warmer than earlier days. It was sunny.
I was out the garage by 7:20 AM and made it to the Marina with enough time to grab a large cup of coffee before we rolled. It was windy and in my favor so I made great time down the trail. The group rolled from the Marina right at 8 AM.
I stayed safe and near the front. The quicker pace kept the ride pretty safe since the less-able riders were trying to hang on at the back. Turnout was strong but I never had the chance to turn around and guess a count. It seemed pretty safe. I didn't hear a single crash and the only close-call was coming into Newport when a few guys bunched up and bumped around but no one went down.
A lot of people turned around at Dana Point but the group that went inland was still large. The folks at the front were kind not to throttle it when we crossed the bridges on the bike trail and the pacing over the climbs was also steady. It was fast through El Toro and the wind was causing guys to gap but it stayed together due to traffic lights.
I got in the mix for the sprint at Bolsa Chica but found I had no legs to contest in the end. For some reason most of the guys kept going at 30 miles and hour back to the Marina. I sat up as soon as we crossed Warner and tooled back up PCH and then back up the trail to home.
The last 10 miles was my hardest as there was a headwind and my legs started to shut down. I got home with 108 miles.
Riding 5 Days A Week. Still A Champ. WED, 19 DEC 2007
I've been putting in about five days a week on the bike. Unfortunately, three of those are back and forth to my new job as Marketing Manager with Storage Solutions, based very nearby in the Cerritos Towne Center. From the garage to the bike rack, it's about 8 minutes to cover the 1.4 miles. It takes about the same or longer by car, depending on the traffic lights.
So, the extent of my "training" for the upcoming 2008 season has involved a leisurely 9 miles over three days plus a weekend or two when it isn't raining and I can convince myself to wake up early and leave the comfort of my warm bed. I've been about 50/50 for the past several weekends, which is pretty good all things considered, but has been terrible for my competitive fitness.
I am, however, still a champion. Y'see, I started with Storage Solutions on November 1st, and two weeks later, participated with my new coworkers in the Cerritos Chamber of Commerce "Turkey Bowl" bowling tournament. This was my first competitive bowling experience, so to show I was up to the task, I first went along with one of my colleagues to nab a pitcher of beer.
Bowling shoes laced, my first throw was a gutter ball and it could only get better. It did. I ended up bowling two 150ish games. My other three teamates did more than hold there own, with two of them topping 200 in the second game. I had to get home quickly after the second game, but the next morning at the office, I was greeted with my very own 1st place trophy. We had the best team score of the tournament!
And you all thought I was joking about finding a sport where I could participate and hold my beer. I think I've found my true calling.
P.S. I've posted our Christmas card for 2007. Take a look in the OTHER section or click here.

San Gabriel River Horses TUE, 30 OCT 2007
I was complaining the other day how the houses along Coyote Creek, the stretch between Del Amo Blvd. and Centralia, hardly had horses anymore. Most of the stables have either been torn down or converted to oversized sheds. The few that remain barely had a horse or two.
Today I went for a ride up the San Gabriel and was glad to see plenty of stables with horses and even several riders out.
As for me, it's been three days of riding my pedal-horse a week, with not much quality in any of those. I've been enjoying a leisurely month and haven't yet felt the desire to go long or fast. My fitness is dropping by the minute.
I've been crazy busy pushing Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes for my Territory Manager job with BYB Brands, Inc. (Do me a favor: they just got put into most Ralphs Grocery stores in California, so go buy a can or twenty to help a guy out.) And when I haven't been doing that, I've been trying to spend quality time with the family. Riding time, with a co-excuse that it's the off-season, has taken a big hit, and as you can tell by the dearth of recent posts, so has this blog.
I've been meaning to write about the last race of the season (for me, for the team, and for most of SoCal). It was...
Ontario "Summer End" Grand Prix - 26 AUG 2007
First up was the 30+ race. Present for Team 5 Star Fish was Lance Coburn, Justin Beope, Peter Andersen, and me. Ontario is never nice in the summer, but compared to last year, the temperature was much more tolerable. It was hot instead of freakin' hot. Lance and I were looking to repeat our magic of last year and go 1-2 at the finish. Had it not been for my error in judgement, there was a great chance for it to happen.
I followed a first lap attack by Pat Caro (Schroeder Iron) even though I wasn't warmed up or feeling particularly good. I was gambling that Pat's attack would attract more than me and we would get a solid group of guys to roll off the front. When I saw this wasn't the quick case, I was happy to let Pat do the work and only reluctantly helped. Pat, unhappy with my less-than-committed approach, told me as much (though I have to admit he was rather polite in doing so). After two laps, I looked back to see a group, including Lance, bridging, but seemingly just ahead of the pack. I sat up off Pat thinking it would all come back together, and because I was tired, but Lance and the rest rolled by and the pack didn't come quickly enough. I waited instead of going on instinct, let Lance and the new break slip away, and then spent the rest of the race angry with myself.
Lance's group of five kept growing their lead, eventually getting more than a half-lap on the rest of the field. They were rolling great but also got a good amount of help from the rest of the Shroeder Team blocking (which actually seemed like a bad move since Pat isn't known for his sprinting skills). Back in the pack, and only after I knew Lance and the break were safely away, I attacked in hope getting away a secodary break. However, I was closely followed every time by a Schroeder rider not interested in breaking away, and then the rest of the field.
With three laps to go, I managed to get a break with four others but it didn't come together fast enough, and we didn't go fast enough, to keep the space we made. The field came back together and I was spent for the finish.
Lance held up his end of the bargain, schooling his breakmates for the win. Peter mixed it up for the field sprint and took 3rd, 8th overall. I rolled in at 12th, and Justin 17.
Part II - Pro/1/2/3
This story is a lot shorter because I wasn't as involved. I was tired from the earlier effort but did manager to help chase early and block later in the race. What I didn't manage to do is make the break, but that's where my trusty and strong teammates came through.
After a series of attacks and counters, a group of nine worked its way off the front. Brandon Gritters and Nate Deibler were our guys there, along with guys like Rahsaan Bahati (Rock Racing), Aaron Quesnell (Karl Strauss/SDBC), Thurlow Rogers (Sonance/Specialized), and Josh Webster (SC Velo). Both Brandon and Nate had been riding well, so the rest of us blocked and were happy to have them go off.
I don't recall the details, but somehow Nate got flushed out of the break. I think it might have been at the very end and he was swallowed by the field to the finish line. It didn't matter, because he helped get the break going and Brandon stepped up to finish the race off. With Bahati in the break, Brandon didn't chance trying to beat him in a sprint and instead attacked a lap or so before the finish. Everyone else looked around while Brandon rode with determination that led to success - a win! That's putting a firm stamp on a great season for him and for the team (notice his State Champ's Jersey in the photo).
Bahati took 2nd, Quesnell 3rd. Our very own Chris DeMarchi won the field sprint for 9th, Paul Che was 12th, Dan Vinson 25th, and I notched a PF (pack finish).
And that, my friends, was the end of the 2007 road racing season.
