notes I sent my coach….. I rode the course in 14:47 which would have won the 55-59 last year but was only good enough for 3rd this year. Very happy to at least get a medal. I rode my road bike but a few guys did well on tt bikes. Hard to say. I don’t […]

I did these inside as the last of the longer efforts in preparation for next weeks Huntsman Games. Power felt good given that effort.  

Did these on the local criteria course: one minute efforts at 521,523, 539, 518, 522, 515, 513 and then 30 seconds at 620, 613, 605, 600 and 627; normalizedpower for 40 minutes at 349

I did an extra long warmup as I tested some slightly different positions. Nothing radical. I just raised my bars one spacer and lowered my saddle about the same. Its going to be more comfortable for the 40k. For the short time trials, I’m pretty high in the saddle and low with the bars with

This shows my ride to the club, the down time doing some personal training, my strength class and then the ride home and walking the dogs 

I used a climb about 15 minutes from our house (Muchmore Road). It turned out to be just 6 minutes plus and that counted going right and sprinting to the Indian Hill Road sign but it seemed close enough. I held 396, 401 and 394 and then threw in a 3 minute effort at 374

240 watt avg for the 2:14 to the top from our house, fastest of the year; 250 watts from Sugarlands to the top, about 1:48
