Anyway, in case anyone is curious about the actual fee, it's $225. I know, I know ... but I'm pretty sure it pays for all of the volunteers it takes to keep all of the racers alive with all of their digits intact through as many as 2 days of constant below-0 exposure. Anyhow, as I stated in this post, anything extra I raise, or all of it if I don't raise nearly enough, will be donated to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. As of Dec. 8, I'm about a third of the way there. In case there's any confusion, I never intended this to be a charity drive. I'm like the little girl on your porch, hawking a case of overpriced candy to pay for her educational trip to Washington, D.C. I don't have empty calories to offer, but I do hope this blog will become more entertaining for my efforts ... in that way, everybody wins. That's all.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1134151365325351662005-12-09T11:02:00.000-07:002005-12-09T11:02:00.000-07:00Not sure how much the fee is, but maybe from the d...Not sure how much the fee is, but maybe from the donated moaney you could pay the fee and donate money to a charity. I think people (paul and I) will be more likely to sponsor you if part of it went to a good cause. Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>MonikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1133585241038122732005-12-02T21:47:00.000-07:002005-12-02T21:47:00.000-07:00What kind of camera do you have?

Like you were running a mile race. By the end of the 2 minutes, your breathing should be damn close to ragged, struggling for control, but still in control.<BR/><BR/>without stopping<BR/><BR/>2 min @ return to 4 minute effort level (5K pace). 5 or 6 mild pedal strokes are sometimes necessary as a breather. Don't worry if you step off the gas for a few seconds ... just get back on it as you can and finish out the 2 minutes. This is the most important part of the 8 minute interval ~ the final 2 minutes build your ability to suffer.<BR/><BR/>Rest = 2 - 4 minutes. No resistance to spin.<BR/><BR/>As in all workouts, effort level progresses with each repeat. Learn from the first, experiment with the second, dig a bit for the fourth, then sacrifice something and do 5. <BR/><BR/>You'll be done for the night. Be sure to ride easy for a few minutes, stretch afterwards, and drink.<BR/><BR/>discipline = fun<BR/>mnorcalcyclingnews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663837359225799079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1133521374659216452005-12-02T04:02:00.000-07:002005-12-02T04:02:00.000-07:00Beautiful pictures JillyBean.I'm not a biker (I am...Beautiful pictures JillyBean.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a biker (I am part owner of a paddle boat) but I'll sponsor you.<BR/><BR/>You can do it with studs!FishTaxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15775413038317279926noreply@blogger.com
