I thought that in order to win I’d have to be close to 400 watts. Its a short event, usually 6:25-7:00 depending on the course. At the end of the first couple of minutes I was well over 420 and hit the turn at 415 avg. I started up again after the turn in the

Today was the 10k (6.4 mile) national senior games championship time trial. They went in reverse alphabetical order in the brackets so I was 4th off in the 50-54 and we followed the 55-59. I passed the three guys ahead of me (30 seconds between each rider) and caught a couple of guys in the 55-59. Rode

Rode the course three times here in Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. Pretty standard out and back, road conditions are average, not much i the way of climbing although some gradual rises and falls. I don’t go off until 2:45, 3:45 eastern time so I have a long day of sitting around. Have been working on playlists

Second week with rain so no time trial. Not concerned as I’ll get in a good spin class tomorrow and then an hour of strength training and then off to Minneapolis. Not much will change in my fitness between now and the weekend.

We’re tapering back on the time on the bike but maintaining intensity. Todays 5×6 minute efforts at steady state were 342, 350, 363, 373 and 335. Hit the first one after just 8 minutes into the ride so not really warmed up. The last one I hit a light and had to slow down. Overall,

Had an off day today after riding my spin class and doing my strength class yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll be doing 5×6 steady states with a light weekend to follow. Will likely do the Tuesday time trial next week and then its off to Minneapolis.

Rode some endurance on Friday, two hours at around 215, and then have Saturday at one hour recovery (less than 80 watts) and then off Sunday and Monday with the time trial on Tuesday. Feels good to get the rest days and start to taper towards Minneapolis.

Not a bad time at 22:54 given my lackluster performance. Just didn’t have any spark after yesterdays big efforts at the state it’s so I used this as just training. No attempt to ride a really fast time but turned out ok. Concentrated on keeping the cadence up around 95.

They held both events this afternoon. I did win gold in both. Not sure that the courses were actually 5 and 10k. Have all data on the 5k and on the 10k we sat around long enough that my computer fell asleep and I didn’t get the power to find. Very technical course with lots

Here is who today went: Rode my 8am spin and did my 9am circuit for just under two hours. Drove to TN and did the ladder efforts noted on Friday. Very hot and humid here, which I like. Did 1 minute at 473, 2 at 414 and 3 at 402, 2 at 440 and 1
