This was a fairly typical week. I rode indoors on Tuesday-Thursday and outside on the weekend.
- Tuesday-60 minutes total with 40 minutes at 90% of FTP
- Wednesday-60 total minutes with 40 minutes at 90% of FTP
- Thursday- 60 total minutes doing Spinervals 5.0: Mental Toughness
- Saturday- 60 minutes moderate pace outdoors
- Sunday- 98 minutes (28 miles) outside at a fairly hard pace.
It was very windy on Sunday, especially at 6:30 AM when the alarm went off, so I wimped out and slept in, missing the Sunday group ride. I started at 10:30 and it was still windy but the temperature was above freezing (barely). I made up for that by really pushing it up all the hills and into the wind. I ended up getting in a good hard ride. It was a good finish to the week.
The Week Ahead
This week I have a time trial on Saturday. It is a 30K event in Gainesville, GA, part of the Georgia Cup Time Trial Series. The weather is looking a bit dicey, with the forecast saying there will be significant rain. I hope they are wrong. I will ride if its raining but not if its pouring. I am traing this week assuming I will be racing on Saturday. That means I have dialed back the intensity of the workouts to make sure I am rested.
My goal for Saturday is to average 280 watts plus for the 30k. That would be a good result given my current fitness. We’ll see what happens. The weather will have a big impact on the race so I will prepare for the worst. I’ll post an analysis of the powertap file after the race, assuming the weather isn’t too bad and I actually race.
