rebuilding the tri bike






















So, i went through and got the bike painted......here are some pictures of the process.... i love the color, i think it looks great. I dont think im adding any stickers at least not for a while, id like to enjoy the "stealth" color its on now.
Now if i can only find the right wheels for it.

I purchased a Tri Bike....why, i dont know.


Today is Monday March 29th, back at home in Phoenix, no traveling this past week, however the weekend was hectic.


I found a great deal on Craigslist and on Ebay, ended up grabbing a triathlon bike for a great price. And as of now, its getting painted, and i will....i repeat, i will be customizing it to my full likes and wants.


So, i took a week off of P90X, i just hurt way too much, this is intense. I have lost 11lbs in the last 3 weeks and this past weekend i also rode 50 + miles with a triathlete....this man i rode my bike with is a machine! But i love it, the last time i rode anything 30 plus miles, i got home and crashed for the rest of the day. This Saturday i was up all day, and continued my regular schedule like a normal day. And today Monday, i am waiting to do it again. I dont know why.
above you see the bike...it's ugly, i hate the colors on it, and the cool part about it is that it came with SRAM components....which i have NEVER tried, or had the opportunity to ride a bike with SRAM groupo.
i will post pictures of the bike frame painted, i should get it today, and i am excited. I will also post some pictures of a before and after with my first month winding down with the P90X.

week 3 begins....

With my amount of traveling that i have done in the past 2 weeks ... i am going to say that im pretty much back at week 1 of my p90x. I cant take it on the road with me....plus with all the restrictions in the airport. it's kind of hard to carry a dvd player with me. I'll just avoid that hassle.

Went riding this past Saturday and Sunday. as always, intense....i love speed....and i love to see how fast i can really go and push myself to go faster, and faster for longer periods of time.

I hit 37mph on the flats. downhill i hit 10 miles faster, 46.8 mph. then i slowed down, because my eyes were getting watery.

I picked up a new cell phone upon my return from Fresno, CA. the new Motorola Droid. I activated it on Friday of last week, today is wednesday and not until yesterday did i appreciate the incredibleness....<---- is that a word....of it.

Fast, and the applications on this things are great. I can read the bible on here...literally. For free.

I decided that i will begin my training for the Tour de Tucson. Which will be my first race. I would like to see how i do, and where i stand amongst the other racers. My competitive side is coming out.....i love it.

More to come.

a week after the beginning of p90x....

I stopped on Wednesday. Due to the fact that i did not have the proper weights. I was hard to just hold the weight without the dumbells.

Ended up getting all my stuff ready to roll, Meaning the diet, the clothes (gym clothes were not clean) and finally the dumbells.

I did not get the chance to ride my bike this weekend, being that i had so many other things to take care of.

but hopefully this week, i can get it done.

More to come!!!!

So no Go on that Pinarello

Looks like i will have to continue dreaming of the "out of my league" beauty i was thinking of landing tomorrow (friday).

Oh well, you cant have your cake and eat it too....i still dont get what that phrase means.

P90X is really kicking my ass. I am on my 3rd day. and I hurt. I ache....and i want to go back into my garage and do it all over again tonight.

i feel good. I think this will actually work for me. I hope. I have never been a fan of doing things like an idiot in front of my TV. however, this one seems to be right on track with what i need.

more updates to come. soon.

Pinarello...


The kind of work that i do, sometimes requires me to lose or gain weight....but most of the times it doesnt.


A possible opportunity has popped up where i can trade some of my talent services for this ridiculously nice bike....


A Pinarello F3:13....Carbon road bike size 58cm....


I would be in a commercial as a principal, and in return i get this bike.....MAN, my heart pounds just thinking about it.....this bike is Great!


I cannot wait.

Extremely tired and weak....

Saturday Morning March 6th 2010.

I decided to go on a bike ride solo. there are certain reasons as to why i dont like to go by myself, mostly it's just in case something happens like i get ran over or a flat, normally i'll have some help or a witness.

I left my house around 10am, like a demon i sped off. My ipod was on at full blast and i really never looked back, i just rode.

The first 6.8 miles are relatively easy. i guess i'll say its a "warm up" ride of some sort, then i get to ride up South Mountain in Phoenix, which just gets better and better and easier.

I got there and i did another warm up ride, its about 2 miles long, its called the San Juan.

did that in about 40 minutes then took the jump and headed towards the top.

It took me 25 minutes to get from San Juan to Dobbins lookout, and then i decided to head behind some TV Antennas that are up there and that almost killed me. My heart rate went all the way up to 195 and i decided to slow down take it easy and try to relax.

after I made i up, i had a cliff bar and headed down....which took about 10 minutes....i wasnt going very fast.

Here's the crazy part.

When i got home i took a shower, then i had lunch with my wife (Lasagna) then i passed out. I was exhausted, i had no energy or felt like doing anything but sleep. So i passed out at 2pm.

two hours later i got up to have dinner. Got home at 8, and went straight to sleep on a Saturday Night.

WHAT A LIFE!!!! wow.

the next morning i woke up at almost 9am....which is really weird being that i always wake up at 5am.

Tonight.....I begin my p90x program.....whew!!! let's see how it goes.

Back from my hometown....

So, I am back from my home town, which is the Fabulous town of YUMA, AZ.

It sucks over there.

The only reason that I went up there was because it consisted of a Job for me. other than that.....i have no reason to go....well, except that my mom and my baby brother live there as well.

So where to begin.....

This coming monday i am starting a workout routing called P90X. I am so excited.
with my softball games on thursday and on fridays, my bike riding, a diet and the p90x excercise...i should be getting to where i want to be....quick!

I brought my bike to work on Monday....and decided to ride it home. Big mistake, it is a 14 mile ride with stop lights, cars and very disrespectful people. Specially seeing some dumb mexican wearing tights, they (ghetto people) dont hold back on expressing their thoughts. Pretty much telling me i look like a homo....Hilarious! because I probably do.

I will be posting a progress picture of the p90x workout results. and i'll see just how good this thing is.

I was told to go by it exactly how it tells me to do, so i will do so.
