Alright

...so I lied....
Did not exactly update
I know that EVERYONE is going crazy waiting for a new post from me

So I am on a sweet U23 team called Lombardi Sports

And I got tested yesterday by Daryl Parker, a professor at Sacramento State.
Got to hang out with him for a long time and he explained all the results of my test, as well as told me a lot about science of cycling and gave me some textbooks since I told him that I am studying to have a job like his.
Anyways, the test went real well. Got to see huge improvements since my last test two years ago.
Have had a 29% increase in my VO2 max, to put that into perspective, taking EPO would give you an 8% increase...
So with my VO2 max at 76.5 I am feeling pretty happy as well as putting out 6.5 watts/Kg. I am psyched, physically I have the body to make it in this sport, now just have to keep working like crazy and hope it works out.
Body fat at 4.29% was also good, definitely did not have the freshman 15.

Speaking of school, passed my first semester so that was awesome. Was pretty worried, was so difficult was very unsure of where I ended up. With just about a 3.0 at berkeley, I am definitely happy.

Am trying out this new twitter thing. Seems to be the new cool thing.
