My training today:
Warmup; Stretch bands, Indian Clubs, and joint mobility.
21,15,9,6,3 reps for time.
I arm Kettlebell trusters L/R( that going to suck with
double the squatting)
Pullups; no kipping (homie don’t do kipping with fucked up
shoulders)
A Dutch
bank(Robobank) has pulled out of sponsorship after 17 years of professional
cycling, especially the “tour”. This is a huge hit for cycling! The Nevelands’s has always been an avid supporter of bicycling and speed skating, so
it comes as a shock that a significant sponsor of one of the most promoted
sports; professional cycling is pulling its support. This is not surprising by
the adverse shit coming out about Lance Armstrong and doping humiliation. Remember,
it not just one cyclist accused of doping; it’s the whole tour competitors that
is in question.
The question
has to be asked; can the tour be “clean” and be credible for those who stand on
the winners podium. It has always appeared to be such a great spectator sport
and a magnet to those who like to cycle and become fit, that maybe some of that
Tour de France will rub off on one’s self.
The fucking
thing is a sad state of affairs when it comes to cycling. I lived in southern France
for two years in a town of Villefranche sur mer. One day all in the small town
came out as the “tour” is coming through the town center and over to Nice,
France. You waited for a couple of hours as you did not know when all of the cyclist
comes through the small village. When they did, the 100 on bikes came and went
in less than 30 seconds, but the village was in a state of jubilation that
lasted for days! 40 years later, I can still hear the sound of the chain wheels
of a 100 bikes at 20 MPH passing by……..You just have to be there.
The mission is sacred
