Todays efforts were in preparation for the indoor time trial on Sunday. We do a slight taper for these since they’re a good test of mid-winter power and also one of the key events in the state time trial and nationals in 2017. I misread the instructions and did 3×5 instead of 3×3…oh well…felt good…held […]

did the 6×4 minutes on Heekin Avenue today: 367, 362, 361, 363, 361 and 360; felt a little tired from yesterdays spin class and circuit class; also getting colder…low 40’s today.
