Back up in Traverse City and did a 40 mile ride up the Old Mission Peninsula and back. Nothing crazy, just taking in the sights and enjoying warm day. Kept power at 215 avg. Actually slept 9 hours last night which is unheard of for me. Will ride just endurance miles through weekend here and […]

Very fortunate to get the gold again today. Had the usual great competition from Michael T and Jake L. I missed breaking my record time of 6:15 by about 5 seconds. Felt like I attacked it right from the start. Took me about 45.7 seconds to go from the start to the timer on the

Last year rode a 14:28 and I believe faster than that the year before, maybe 14:05-10. Today, rode a course record 13:52 for the gold in the 55-59 and fastest overall. Power was lower than expected but I’m beginning to think that given my power at Cleves that the meter needs calibration. Just seems too

Ok power but not as strong as yesterday; did it first thing in the morning (7am)….now we start to taper to Tuesday 

Drove home today since it was going to rain in Tennessee. Did these inside later in the afternoon. Went the full 5k and held upper 370’s. 

did a nice 8 mile hike on Deep Creek Trail to campsite 53 and back, 8 miles; took about 3:15 did a later afternoon ride before the storms hit and threw in 1x5k on an uphill road headed to Fighting Creek Gap and Elkmont; took 8:30 to cover the 3 miles but power was very

I rode solo at 5:30 in a light rain, some wind and on my slower Cervelo P2 with no disc. Time was slow at 23:25 but power was pretty good at 338 (340 first half, 334 second). A little tired from last nights strength class also so overall a good prep for next weeks time

This was held in West Salem, Oh this morning. All was well to the turn where I was averaging just under 27 mph, 94 rpms and about 320 watts. Then my Di2 shifting for the rear derailleur stopped working. I rode all the back in with a 54/15. Still got the win with a 31:47

All went well with power falling right in the middle at 410-414. I have some good competition on Saturday with one guy being a perennial top 3 at USAC nationals, and national champion several times.

I rode solo again this evening at 5:30. My goal was to keep my power from spiking above 400, if possible. In the end my NP was lower than last week by about 10 watts but my time was only 3 seconds slower. Just shows that good pacing cam be pretty efficient. Here is a
