Been hunting down this WebSphere problem for the past week where new requests were receiving a HTTP 500 response while already established sessions (when they eventually did get in) were proceeding normally.  Turns out that the steaming pile of shit that is WebSphere didn't generate the web server plugin properly, leaving one WAS instance unable to take traffic.  Since this instance never got any traffic, the plugin kept on trying to assign new sessions to it, in an attempt to balance the load, but the transport didn't exist to take the request from httpd to the application server.

Cycling:

I'm going to pull the trigger on the Zipps.  Getting the cassettes from another dealer though since they have better prices.  I should probably get a new chain on my tribike since I have experienced some 'skipping' when I'm putting out higher than normal (for me) watts (300+).  Some new bar tape and a general cleaning will be nice too.

Did a session on the trainer last night, one I hadn't done in quite a while.  My HRM was flaky, so I don't have any HR data, but it did feel nice not to have the strap across my chest for two hours.  The session involved a lot of cycling specific strengthening drills, including ~40:00 of big gear (53x13/14) standing climbing at a cadence of 60+ rpm.  It ends with a 15:00 TT and 2 4:00 TT's.

15:00 196W average, 311W max, 20.2mph average, 5.03 miles
04:00 252W average, 405W max, 21.9mph average, 1.46 miles
04:00 257W average, 346W max, 22.1mph average, 1.47 miles

The 4:00 power numbers are surprising since I put out ~260-270 when I do just 4:00 intervals.  Almost puking all over my bike at the end of the second effort probably had something to do with the decent numbers.

Distance: 27.6miles
YTD: 550.1miles

Needless to say that doing my kick drills in the pool this morning hurt like a motherfucker.

Weekend:

There's a wedding to attend tomorrow in the NJ and I'll be staying up there until Sunday.  My coach wants me to come by and ride Sunday morning, but getting from Trenton to the shore before 8am after being out late probably isn't going to happen.

I should probably do my taxes, although my ballpark estimate came out owing TEH FEDS a couple hundred, so I'm in no big hurry.

Linkies:
