January 18th, 2010A fabulous Monday
Today was just about as perfect a monday as one could ask for. It's only 4:00, so it could still go off the rails, but so far a great day.My training has been a bit strange these last few months, working through some issues but still able to ride for an hour, 90 min max.
Today started out like most mornings, up at 4:30, greens+ bar covered in peanut butter and coffee. Great way to satisfy the "i'm starving" feeling I usually have when I wake up.
It was still wet out this AM, so I opted for rollers - and did a single 1x25:00 effort at 97%, then some microbursts that felt like death but in a good way, over and one with in an hour.
It was a home office day for me, no meetings so I got to enjoy being home while Kristy had the day off.
I got out for a second ride at lunch time, another short one, with 8 quality sprints done in the glorious sunshine and 60 degrees. THIS is why I love NC in the winter. Usually great weather. My sprint power is nothing to write home about, but I'm improving, and I like to sprint. It's fun. But I suck, 1200w peak 5s is about all I can manage. But I am pretty good at getting into the right position to use it, so watch out. I even won a pro/1/2 race in a field sprint. Once :)
Cheers,
Pete
