MOVING
Yeah, moving time is here. After 3.5 good years in Morristown I'm packing it up this month and heading to a buddy's place in Warren. Less bro bars, more machine tools and I'll be equidistant from the swamp. The negative is my commute will be more like 25-30 instead of 15 minutes. Damn.
In typical "Matt" style I've committed all of my weekend for the rest of the month and have decided to undertake my moving during the week.
While also training.
NICE.
As luck will have it I drove my fatigue through the roof since I got back from Alaska, moved my fitness up to my previous peak of the season and now have a half rest week! Perfect. So all I gotta do now MOVE EVERYTHING and paint a bedroom in the new place. I've already moved half my bikes all of my records and one airplane propeller.
I'll be using my two days off this week to paint. I started the Spackle game last night. Planning trim and Ceiling on Wednesday. I'll probably wait to do the windows for a slow night after I move in.
Zach and Laura are getting their Uhaul this weekend so when I get back from W.Mass Sunday there will be nothing in the living room, a half empty kitchen and nothing in the second bedroom - maybe I'll use that room to stage.
Ben offered the 2nd Gear Bikes van to help move which I'll probably take him up on. I may do furniture 8/27 then drive to Springfield MA to race Blunt Park 8/28.
KEEP MOVING, ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
SO many holes. Plaster walls and some large areas that need extra massaging where paint was scraped away.
Whoever living here last was a huge asshole when they painted all the trim, windows and doors black. Of course, I'll be painting them white. Er, "Swans Wing."
Lucky Jim's got a paint gun and a 5 gallon bucket of primer. Yeah, file this into "cross training."

If you haven't already painted the trim, leave it black. Seriously.
It's like the new cool thing.
Since I know you are not keeping up with your home blogs these days, here's a link to help you out.

Maybe I can make that argument. DOES LOOK SICK.
Maybe I can just paint everything black.

Tired.
I've been on a pretty solid block since Alaska but I'm starting to get pretty fatigued. Fitness climbed back really fast but fatigue has been consistently high for almost 2 weeks. Threshold went pretty bad last night, HR was nowhere to be found. Wondering if my shark bite is also zapping watts.
Aside from that I'm now on left crank power and my right leg makes about 1.5% more wattz so my numbers are even lower now.
Stoke is still high. Gonna play in a grass field today, not pedal hard and practice that stupid cyclocross thing where you get on and off your bike.
BEARD REPORT!
Okay, so normally I shave and start fresh the last weekend in July but I actually started my current growth before Alaska. Maybe actually early July. I broke tradition but eff it. I'll just be closer to muppet status for Nittany.

Please enlighten us with the class you are racing in for each of these events, if you don't mind.
Thought Natz were Jan 3-8

Unless otherwise noted Men's UCI Elite for UCI events, and Men's 1/2/3 for local.
Right now the only 2/3 I foresee is at KMC.

That's an age group, I can't find the actual schedule.

WHATTTTTTTT
young whipper snapper.....
No schedule yet, just dates. Thinking of going to watch on the last day, assume that's be the pro men/women. Close enough to drive to/from same day me thinks.
