Weeks past and weeks to come
Posted on May 8, 2010
First off I would like to say that Bookwalter is the man… Great ride, really impressive. I was watching the TT and dang, that was a really close one.
So, the last couple of weeks have been busy with work, I really packed the LBS on and only this last week have I been able to get some decent training in. I think I rode 14 hours or so last week. Pretty good considering that my last month I probably averaged 4 or so.
I have also started to run and erg a bit more. Its time to build some of the TT power and “maybe” next year I can put down some of that power. I noticed that the erging is slowly pushing my constant wattage power up. Little by little I have been noticing that I have been able to hold really high numbers for longer periods of time. 400 and 500 watts for several minutes. The downfall is that the recovery is way to long for this to be useful in any cycling race.
I established that I will prepare myself for Bakersfied and Sisquoc. I am actually looking forward to race these road races. It would be VERY nice to be in shape for that. As we are 4 weeks away from Baker, I might be able to drop 10lbs and add some hill repeats into my schedule. The hill is not a real climb, but it hurts bad if you get gapped.
Lets see how it goes.
Weight right now is 194lbs.
