Michigan Senior 10k and 5k

Peter Wimberg — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 12:43:48 +0000

These went well. Just a few seconds off the last time I rode the 5k here in 2024 and I was actually 12 seconds faster on the 10k. Overall power was good at 320 and 350. Had. good downaward trend on the 10k with the energey expenditure. The 5k on that course is a little harder to do given the turns where power drops off.

OSO 5k and 10k Time trials

Peter Wimberg — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 23:57:44 +0000

Not sure that I could ride the 5k much better. I averaged a little over 360 watts and beat my strava record. The 10k was about average. I think I hesitate to really crush the power at the distance. need to work on that. 6:35 and 13:50 for the times.

Week of July 13 and 20, 2026

Peter Wimberg — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 17:04:46 +0000

Spent the week of the 13th riding in Michigan, about 50 miles per day. Would have done more but the Canadian wildfire smoke was an issue the last few days.

On Sunday the 19th, I did some 30 and 40 second efforts with 10-15 seconds between at about 400w each. Back in TN Wed-Fri the week of the 20th. Did 5×3:00, 1×5:00 and 1×4:00 in Pittman Center. Power was 360w (avg on all), 280 and 330w respectively. Today I did the Grassy Branch climb 3x at 360w, around 6:45 on each.

5 x around Armleder Segment

Peter Wimberg — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 15:14:40 +0000

Rode about 8 minutes for a warmup and then did the 5 laps at 321w, 23:29. Felt pretty good and that pace over that time shows a nice steady depletion of the energy reserves.

Fourth of July

Peter Wimberg — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 15:00:56 +0000

Today I did some 40-50 second on and off efforts, upper 300’s to mid 400’s. On thursday I do 18×45 sec on, 15-20 sec off at 360w. Did 100 miles yesterday, 20 in, 55 out and then 25 in. Too hot to ride mid afternoon. Also did the Cleves TT on Tuesday. Rode at 5:30pm in the 95 degree, 70% humidity conditions by muself so I could time everyone else later. Brutal conditions! Slow ride at 23:49.

Week of June 15 2026

Peter Wimberg — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 22:15:36 +0000

I rode the Cleves TT. Faster than the last effort at 23:29 but power still stinks. If I can get my power up to 320 or so, I think I can get into the lower 23’s. I did some intervals in the 320-330 range that added up to about 25 minutes with several 20-30 seconds between. I did 45sec on 15sec off x 18 today at 372w age.

indiana 5k and 10k TT’s

Peter Wimberg — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:36:05 +0000

Rode the 5k really well. Power avg on the Wahoo was 378. It doesn’t count the two turns swhere power drops to zero for a few seconds. I was only 2 seconds off my PR from 2023.

The 10k was in some heavy showers. Took the turns very cautiously. And, I’m just not pushing hard enough. I’ll make training for the 10k a priority. I should be closer to 340w avg on this. I’m getting some more rise to my Trek SC aero bars so I can get back on the saddle and breath a little better. We’ll see.
