IIII'MMMMM BBBBAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!!!

After 4 months off the grid to get my head screwed on straight (death of a brother, training burn out, yada, yada, yada) and gaining weight, I think I am ready for some new and improved EN Mojo!

Been off the radar but following EN Gangsta's in the background on Twitter.  You guys have been killing it.  Mancona ran a 1:15:xx half marry?  Holy cow!

Eyeing HIM in September and maybe the San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz in August.

Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to reengaging.

Later.

John

    Been too long, but glad you are back!!

  • Hey, my training buddy is back! Welcome (I'm shocked, but welcome!)
  • The 2010 party is now in full swing!!!!! The Stark-ster has landed!

    Hi, John.   Here's to a summer of fun!

  • Welcome Back, we missed you.

  • Welcome back John!!
  • Good to see ya back!!

  • I had a feeling you would be back soon! Great to have you here again!

  • Hi John! Glad to have you back!
  • Glad to have you back Mr. Stark
  • Welcome back John! I can't wait to here about more of your and Tom's training rides!
  • Welcome back John.  Looking forward to the excitment you bring. 

    Not sure if you remember that motivational bet we had going...there was nothing on the line on your side but I did keep pushing through the OS and missed the 225 FTP goal on week 20, I tested at 220.  I did another 5 weeks of OS and am now at 234.  Anyway just a thank you for pushing me even though you were not here I figured you would come back.

  • Hey John, Great to have you back.
  • John,

    You being back means that you've passed through a long, difficult night. I'm glad you're feeling better and are here to keep us entertained as only you can.

    Let the Big Dog eat!
  • John- Although I don't tweet, I have read yours and was glad to see that you hadn't fallen off the earth completely. Really great to see you back. I was thinking of you Saturday during my ride and hoping you were well. Of course your video after the crash last year gives me the chuckles still. Welcome Home! Pace yourself.
  • John -
    Cool; I need the Stark carrot and stick motivation tool. I will be swinging your way in July for Vineman 70.3 . Jen and I hitting vineyards the day after the race. Perhaps we'll hook up.
  • Thanks everyone!  Guess I added some value around here in the past.  :-)  Glad I could help in my own little way.  Made me smile.

    I laughed out loud when I looked at Twitter tonight and there was a post to me from Matt Sullivan and all it said was:  "THWACK!"  Thanks, Matt! 

    I spent last night digging through several forums and got inspired.  So today I called my nutritionist and will go in for an "official" weigh-in and BodPod body fat test to set the baseline.  I also ordered Primal Blueprint (Thanks CoachP for the thread) and have now set-up a HIM Beginner Plan that starts tomorrow.  But I am also noodling maybe doing a modified 8 week OS Plan instead until the actual 12 week HIM Plan starts in earnest.  We shall see.  And on Wednesday I will hook-up with the EN TOC group for about 15 miles of riding as they roll through Norcal.

    No, I am not Type-A.  :-)  But I am going in the right direction now.

    Thanks again everyone.  Tme to get busy.

    John
