This week was not as good as I wanted in some ways and better than expected in others.
The Good News First
I exceeded my mileage goal for 2008 by crossing over the 4500 mile mark. With a little more than a month to go in the year I should end up with 4900 miles or so. The other good news was evidenced by my time in “sweet spot” of 1:58 in just over 4 hours of riding (all of it inside). That shows how concentrated trainer workouts can be.
The Not So Good News
This was also the week I did my FTP test. While it was OK it wasn’t as good that I had hoped. I didn’t really slip but I didn’t improve either. Based on the results I will be keeping the same FTP number of 272 until I do my next test in January. I am going to revisit my plan and make an adjustment or two. I’ll try to post that next week so you can get an idea of the adjustments I’m making.
Looking Ahead
This week will probably be a little light with the Thanksgiving holiday. I have family in town so won’t ride as much. I’m hoping to get in 3-4 hours if possible. I will then be able to “kick it up a notch” starting next week.
Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!
