TMS got another chance to look into the daily habits of another of our favorite sceners, this time we got ahold of what we feel is one of what Miscene best up and comers..Alan Antonuk. Alan seemed to fly in under the radar last season, Not to us as we watched him dismantle the cat3's in 08, but for some he was just another guy in a Essex kit. Well not for 10. As your gonna see Alan has stepped up to the next level.And Tms is gonna continue to watch out for him...Hey tMs;
I was picked up by Cleveland Health Clinic/RGF p/b Felt Racing Bikes (http://www.rgfsolutionssportsmarketing.com/) for 2010, so I'll be laying it down in an RGF kit this season. I'm really excited as we've got some good guys on the team (Cruise Bogdin, Adam Liebowitz, Jeremy Grimm, Ryan Good, and Rolf Eisenger, as well as a good crew on the U23 and Regional teams)
As for a day in the life, here's my week-day edition:
07:30 - Cell phone alarm goes off
07:30:01 - Heart rate hits 110 bpm as I'm yanked of of dream-land
07:30:05 - Curse, loudly.
07:30:20 - Realize the alarm is for real and I have to go silence it, so I walk over to my cell (across the room), grab it, silence the alarm, kill the other alarms, then jump back in bed. Its entirely too cold to be up out of bed.
07:30:25 - Promise to really get up in 5 minutes.
08:15:00 - Look at cell phone clock
08:15:01 - curse again
08:15:05 - 5 more minutes
08:25:00 - Get out of bed
08:27:00 - Check the e-mail (I'm not awake yet, this is really just to delay getting started)
08:30:00 - Pick up the newspaper (WSJ, they've been delivering to me for 10 months now for free, i've tried to get them to stop, several times, they have no record of me. I think i've just accepted the fact I'm getting it whether I like it or not, its a good read, and when it isn't its great for stuffing in wet cycling shoes)
08:32:00 - Breakfast of champions - Orange, Alan's special blend of musli with almond milk, yogurt, & juice
08:40:00 - Contacts in so I can see
08:40:01 - Realization that I need a haircut
08:40:02 - Haircut?!? who has the time for that?
08:40:30 - Brush teeth
08:42:30 - Floss (see I brushed a whole 2 minutes like you're supposed to)
08:45:00 - Dressed and ready to commute to work
08:48:00 - 4 trips up and down apartment stairs as I remember all the various items I need for work
08:50:00 - Look at watch, realize I'm going to be a bit late for work
08:50:01 - Curse.
08:51:00 - Jump on the commute bike and freeze for 15 minutes riding to work
09:07:00 - Roll into work, realize my boss is out at some conference, so it doesn't really matter that I'm a few minutes late (doh!)
09:10:00 - Log into workstation, grab some tea and fill the waterbottle
09:15:00 - Commence working
09:16:32 - Knock on cubicle, something that I built has broke/I don't know how to use this/please help
09:26:00 - After watching user use software in most unexpected manner curse silently
09:26:10 - Add it to the bottom of the never-ending todo list. Tell user I'll work on it.
09:27:00 - Return to cube, try and get head back in the game
09:30:00 - New email, distraction
09:35:00 - Recommence work
10:00:00 - Hungry, commence first snack of the day: carrots, celery, and small tomatoes
10:00:15 - Down the hatch, continue working
10:26:00 - Hungry again, time for snack #2: deluxe mixed nuts and dates
10:26:30 - Email from another grad student asking me about file-formats
10:27:00 - Refer grad student A to grad student B who I've already explained said file-format 6 times to.
10:27:05 - Sense of satisfaction
10:30:00 - Still hungry, is it lunchtime yet?
10:31:00 - Continue working
... Ok this is getting boring, lets skip ahead to 16:55:00
16:55:00 - 5 minutes to go until I can skip out of work
16:56:47 - Email from grad student asking for 5 page explanation about something, requiring it 2 days ago
16:57:00 - Slam head against desk
17:25:00 - Send off e-mail and bolt before any other emails come in
17:28:00 - Start the commute through mind-numbed Ann Arbor drivers (hope I don't get run-over)
17:45:00 - Arrive home
17:50:00 - Decompress
17:52:00 - Ok not enough time for that, gotta get my 2 hours in before my downstairs neighbor gets home.
18:00:00 - Pop a DVD into player, turn on fan, fill up the bottles, get on the rollers
20:00:00 - Done with that (what you think I'd give away my training secrets: really it isn't that hard - TRAIN SMART)
20:00:05 - Forgot to prepare dinner, start that
20:55:00 - Dinner half cooked? Good enough, chow time.
20:57:15 - Ok that was good, what else can I munch on?
21:02:03 - OOoohh, shiny, lets go play around on the computer
0:55:00 - Hmm, I have to get up in 8 hours, probably time to go to bed.
