Rode a 22:16 or about 27.6 mph for the 10.25 mile course. It was good for second best with the fastest time being 21:29 or 28.6 mph, the third fastest time in the 40 year history of the time trial. this moved me back to fourth all time. Oh well. Not sure at 51 that

After last weeks light training we’re back at it this week. On the schedule we have the time trial on Tuesday and then on Thursday and Friday 7×3 power intervals. On Friday we have 15×1 power intervals. Haven’t done these in a long time so curious to see where I am on the power. On
