From the Saddle

It has been quite a
season...on the bike, in the pool, at the track, and
in the running shoes.
The athletes we coached rode their first
century, won national and collegiate titles, ran their
first marathon, completed Ironman Triathlons and
trained an average of 12 hours a week.
They also provided mortgage services, repaired
small animals, designed houses, painted art, taught
school, attended high school, college and graduate
school, designed websites, coached other athletes,
taught Pilates, baked cakes, raised children and
supported spouses. Wow !
In our spare time, we rode our bikes, ran, swam,
skied, read, studied, supported charities, wrote
articles for publication, gardened, grilled, hiked, drank
wine, traveled, loved, laughed and enjoyed the heck
out of life !
Thanks for being part of it all.

Wow! That's a
lot of letters meaning....
The JDS Factory Team (JDSFT) raised
$6889.00 for the fight against Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Eight team members raised over $300.00
The MS 150 ride turned out to be 158 miles. But who's
counting? Well, I was counting. I completed the ride
16 days post-surgery. A huge thanks to my
teammates who inspired me to complete the ride, and
a special thanks to Lab Rat (also known as Doug
Ingalls) who was with me through 75% of the ride.
The other 25% of the ride he spent in the hospital, but
that's another story.
At the beginning of the 2007 cycling season, two
consecutive days of 79 miles in the saddle seemed
like a piece of cake to me. It wasn't. And that is the
point of the fight against MS. People who have the
disease have no idea when the next phase of the
disease might affect them.
Having multiple sclerosis means that you may
suddenly have blurry vision. Or that your memory will
fail you for no apparent reason. Or that you may not
always be able to walk, let alone ride a bike. The
symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for
everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet
another person every hour of every day.
If you'd like to make a difference for those with MS,
please donate now !

Training With or Without Power: Watts the
Difference? It's no secret to cyclists and
triathletes
that training
with power is an advantage to training with heart rate.
One reason is the subjectivity of heart rate variables,
including fatigue, hydration and temperature.
Knowing your actual output, regardless of prevailing
variables, enables you to respond with precision,
adjusting your cadence to stay in the desired training
zone or intensity and maintain a specific pace.
Why train with power? Training
by power
output can help you take your
game
to the next level because it is subject to only one
variable, the amount of work you are doing at the
moment. Read more about training with
power...
Why ergomo? ergomo's
original ingenious
design and commitment to usability is the
answer...the actual ergomo sensor, housed in a
bottom bracket, is lighter than its competitors. Recent
improvements to the computer, firmware and software
make the ergomo power meter system second to
none in usability.
JDS Sportcoaching, LLC is pleased to
offer the
ergomo power meter system at a discount to
newsletter readers.
That's right ! Place your order between now and
November 30 and get 15% off the ergomo system.
