Intervals. Thousands of them. Ok, maybe just 3 really hard ones. I felt like breaking the cranks off of my bike, which is a great thing on your first day back to training, because it indicates that you rested as hard as possible. Wednesday, I decided that since I have a fancy powertap wheel and the rigid fork on my geared A9C, that I was going to start doing some of my long, steady rides on it rather than the road bike. I figure at some point, I&#8217;ll be racing it long distances, so I might as well train on it more often as well.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah- remember the broken iPhone? We fixed it last night. I say &#8220;we&#8221; because <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.roadcx.net\/archives\/3538\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan<\/a> ordered a screen, took the old one off, and installed the new one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_3683_edited-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3603\" title=\"DSC_3683_edited-1\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_3683_edited-1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_3683_edited-1-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC_3683_edited-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All the while, I was sitting at my computer providing life-coaching services to <a href=\"http:\/\/bean-poleonabike.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt<\/a> via Facebook.

Well, the Smith and Nephew Gran Prix Omnium is this weekend, and it includes the State Championship crit. I was initially planning on poaching the crit, but then realized that I didn&#8217;t feel like ditching a week of training focused on my endurance endeavors just so I could gun for another white TN Champ jersey to add to my overflowing\u00a0 collection (smirk).
