Took three days off the bike after the century on Saturday. Started back today with two classes and headed to the mountains to do some hiking and biking. Good to have the break after a season of races and big miles. Will have more coming up interspersed with interval days. 

Due to the rain I rode inside for a couple of hours. I was going to go for a new 1 minute PR (611+) and did some build up to that but 32 seconds into the minute I was at 630 so I bailed on it thinking I had to actually be closer to 640.

I do think that in time trials the higher wts/kg given similar aerodynamics does win 

A good day in Kentucky. I rode the 5k in 6:27, one second off the course record and a personal record (for that course and any 5k) and good for the gold, but just by 2 seconds. There was a rider from Louisville, Curt Tolson (42 national medals on the track), who rode very well.

Feeling well rested for tomorrow. Hopefully I can get close to my previous times of 6:30-6:40 and under 14 minutes for the 5k and 10k respectively. Its a pretty fast course, especially the 5k as it has no turns. Certainly have a competitive field with some great KY riders on the start list.

This is the same workout as last Friday but inside today. Power wasn’t;t as high as last Friday but still above the prescribed zones. 300+ on the 3 minutes, 360-400 on the 1 minute efforts.
