This is a hilly course. I count about 11 climbs each way. Really no flat section other than the 1/4 mile start/finish. We’re looking at 20+ strong efforts and then tucking and flying down the descents. Some guys were talking about needing a small chainring but I don’t plan on using it. Too risky shifting

358 watts, 22:46…27 mph….so-so ride….could have gone faster but legs felt a little tired after Sundays two races …I plan on taking tomorrow off and not participating in my classes….need a day off after Sunday and tonight….feeling good about Friday’s tt!

I rode both the 5k and 10k time trials today at the Indiana State Games and won both in age and overall. On the 5k I was at about 6:35, 28 mph avg, 90 rpms and 420 watts. on the 10k I was around 13:21, 27.5 mph, 92 rpms and 380 watts. Pleased with the

Brutally slow night with a 23:51 but power was at 360+ and cadence at 95. Happy with both of those. just shows how much conditions affect the speed. It was about 50 and super windy on the second half with not much of tailwind on the first half. Good training never the less. Power is

did about 10 miles covering Forney Creek to the cascade, Forney Ridge to Andrews Bald and then a couple of hours on the Road Prong Trail.

While not exactly physical recovery this ride was mental recovery. Rode to Clingmans Dome and took plenty of time to stop and take in the scenery. I posted some photo’s on FB. Great day to ride! Summer in the lower elevations and still spring at the top. Pretty slow pace but I was in no

Had a fast ride tonight at unofficial 21:52, 27.5 mph, 369 watts at 89 rpm’s. Rather than focus on power I looked at average speed the entire time. I didn’t even look at average power until I crossed the finish line. Power was the best I’ve had in a while on a 10 mile course.
