I wont give specific names of the athletes I work with here in the blog but just over the weekend one of my clients took two top 20 placings at Collegiate nationals in the road race and time trial. He trained hard all winter and it paid off big this past weekend.

Started at Point Pleasant, OH on Saturday morning and rode into Ripley, across the first bridge into the outskirts of Maysville, into Maysville and then a little further south on Route 10, back into Maysville and across the Simon Kenton Bridge into Aberdeen, OH. From there we took 763 to 125, west to Russelville and

I used the crib course again on the tt bike. Held 351 for 15:35, 23 mph which given the hill on that course isn’t bad. Feeling much better on the tt bike when it comes to getting the desired power. TT effort starts at the higher peak (a few peaks in) to the left and

I rode the tt bike on these and averaged 516, 500, 507, 501, 471, 491, 501, 492, 499, 478 and 490, or 495 avg. Felt good about these especially in the tt position. Used the uphill section of the Ault Park crib course going clockwise.

22:35, 27.35 mph give or take. Actually, looking back over now 19 years of data, that would be one of my faster first nights out on the course. Power was only so-so. I’m adjusting to a more aero position. I do think that 340 watts and that speed is pretty low on the power end.

Had a great time this past weekend with the Upper Arlington High School Cycling Team at their Development Camp at Deer Creek State Park. We arrived on Friday and were treated to a meal cooked by the team with the help of a dietician guided shopping trip to Whole Foods the night before. On Saturday

I used Heekin Avenue from Eastern to Ault park for these as its almost exactly three minutes. With my triple I can maintain 90+ rpms even given the 12-15% slope on the lower section. Held 424, 397, 397, 389 and 393. Pretty much in line with previous efforts.

Did day two of these today. I used the tt bike and held 401, 403, 400, 402 and 389. Had the HR monitor on but the data is messed up. Too close to an airport that causes it to go crazy. Speed looked good at low 25’s to close to 28 mph and that without

101 miles, 10,800′ of climbing, 5000 calories burned; Gatlinburg to Newfound Gap to Cherokee, NC, back to Newfoundland up to Clingmans, down to Sugarland, out to Elkmont and then back home. Exhausting ride with the wind added in.
