20 Minute Field Test

I used SR 52 for this. I started the interval at the light by Coney Island and finished past the Beckjord Power Plant near New Richmond. Average power was 351 or 4.6 watts/kg. Riding my all steel road bike my average speed was 25.6. This is the exact same power I held about four years […]

August Blue Streak Time Trial

The temperature in Dayton this past Wednesday was in the low 70’s with a wind from the north east. Didn’t feel like a fast evening but I was able to post my fastest time on that course this year with a 21:38 or 27.73 mph average. Glad to get a good time after the last

Cleves Time Trial

Another week at 22:45. Might be time for a week off that course. Feeling kind of tired of it, no spark in the legs, unable to get that 28mph average back. Probably have close to 20 times trials this season. Not unusual that I’d be a little burned out on it. Also felt the two

Cleves July 30

Pretty uninspired ride at 22:43, 27.1 mph. Didn’t have that drive in the legs or my mind to ride hard tonight. Think I left it all in Cleveland last week.

Training going forward

With the A races out of the way, we’ll be looking at the local races like Cleves and Blue Streak to finish out the season. Started making some plans for future training for more of the 5k and 10k time trials with my coach. Might even add some to the local time trial schedule if

Nationals, Day 2

Rode the 5k today in 6:27 or 28.9 mph for another silver medal. Missed first by four seconds. Its a short ride but had HR near max the entire time. have to say it really hurt. Not sure I’d have the other four seconds in me. I do really like these short all out events.

Nationals

Took the silver in the 10k time trial with a 13:36 or 28.23 mph avg. First was about 15 seconds faster. Thats pretty big so I don’t feel like I could have beat that anyway. Had an avg of 28.4 at the turn and lost almost a mile per hour. had to get the power
