This is the post I made to my calendar for my coach just this morning. This is why schedules have to be flexible and why its always good to feel like you’ve done all of your training and a few days off schedule won’t matter. The last 48 hours has been pretty much a disaster. Spent […]

I’m only a few chapters into this book but it is really interesting. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1623361486/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its finally on its way to Montgomery Cyclery. Should have it and my TT bike back next week. Was also waiting for a new cog set to I’m not dealing with that missing 16t. Drove me just last year s the 15 and 17 didn’t always meet my cadence goal.

Yesterday I did 1 minute, 5 minute and 20 minute time trial efforts on the Cycle Ops. One minute, easy at 360. Five minutes, no problem at 353. Twenty minutes inside, miserable at 345. Well off my indoor tt efforts under competition but still had HR going at 95% of max or 107% of LT

Some of the food I carry on long rides: Clik Blok Shots; PowerBars; Clif Bars (but not my favorite…too dry); one or two per hour drink of choice is Gatorade and later in the ride sometimes just water and I try to go through 2 bottles per hours on hot days pre-race: always staying hydrated

I bought the 12 hour conference so I can get at least 20 and possibly 30 CEU’s. Don’t need them for another couple of years but this will take care of 50-75% of the required 40. So far, about 1/3 of the way through them, have to say it’s great information. The talk on training

Today called for 7 minutes tempo, 5 minutes steady state and 2 minutes at power interval effort. Held 290/320/363 and 287/319/368. Will repeat these on Friday. Took yesterday off completely after doing about 2 hours endurance on Sunday preceded by 3 hours of hiking on both Friday and Saturday and the 100 mile ride on

With the winter season almost over, hopefully, and having on ridden outside twice since December I’ve come to appreciate my Cycle-Ops Indoor 400 even more than in the past. I’ve had it for about 4 years and just two weeks ago made the first adjustment to the chain. Other than that it has been rock

Planning on my first time trial being in April in Dayton unless the weather improves for a March event. When the time comes I’ll be back on the following: HED Wheels with front tri-spoke (super fast when you get over 25 mph) and the rear Stinger Disc. I know Zipp gets all of the press
